Company Registration in Thailand
The most common business structure for entrepreneurs starting a business in Thailand is a Thai Limited Company. This structure is widely used by both Thai nationals and foreign investors due to its flexibility and limited liability protection.
A limited company in Thailand is formed with registered capital divided into shares. Shareholders’ liability is limited to the value of the shares they hold in the company. This means shareholders are generally only responsible for the company’s debts up to the amount they have invested.

Company Registration in Thailand
Thai Majority-Owned Limited Company
In a Thai majority-owned company, Thai nationals must hold at least 51% of the company’s shares, while foreign shareholders can own up to 49%.
Because the majority ownership is Thai, this type of company usually does not require a Foreign Business License (FBL) under the Foreign Business Act. As a result, Thai majority-owned companies typically face fewer restrictions when conducting business in Thailand.
This structure is commonly used when foreign investors partner with Thai nationals in order to operate businesses that may otherwise be restricted to foreigners.
Foreign Majority-Owned Limited Company
A company is considered a foreign-owned business when foreign shareholders hold more than 49% of the company’s shares.
Foreign-owned businesses in Thailand are regulated under the Foreign Business Act, which restricts certain industries and activities from full foreign ownership.
In many cases, a company with majority foreign ownership must obtain a Foreign Business License (FBL) before starting operations in Thailand. The approval process involves review by Thai government authorities to ensure the business complies with local regulations and investment policies.
Because of these restrictions, proper planning and professional guidance are important when setting up a foreign-owned company in Thailand.
