Re: Social Enterprise Registration

[Bangkok45]

Greetings,

I am a Singapore national and would want to register a Social Enterprise relating to Agriculture in Thailand.

I could not find any website or contact address to register it. Found TSEO through Google search but the link has been suspended.

Please assist me with the address and if possible the criteria of registration.

Thank you.

What kind of business model you wish to use would determine what kind of entity you need to open.

If you plan on running a for profit social enterprise then you will need to open a Thai Limited Company that is majority owned by Thai nationals. If you wish to run a non-profit then you will need to apply for a Foundation. The for profit company is faster and easier to open than a Foundation as the Foundation does have certain limitations on what you can and cannot do. Neither of these entities can be registered online and require a fair bit of paperwork to be submitted in the Thai language.

You may wish to come into Sunbelt Asia to meet with one of our legal advisors to go over all your options and the one that best suits you. Feel free to send me a personal message with your email address and one of our legal advisors will get in touch.
