What is a Corporate Service?
Corporate services, or company service providers, provide business support services to other companies based on best practices, specialized knowledge, and leveraging the use of technology. The provided support service can range from legal liabilities, tax accounting to company incorporation.
Of course, companies can choose to do these activities themselves, without any external help. However, these activities can be time-consuming and distract companies from other functions of their business.
Besides, some legal obstacles might be challenging for some companies to deal with without any external help, particularly for investors who want to start a company in Thailand. The company registration in Thailand must adhere to Thai Law. While the laws are very encouraging to investors wishing to start a company in the country, it still requires some skills that only Thai lawyers possess.
Incorporation Options
There are several incorporation options you need to learn before you start the process. The options include limited companies, the board of investment promotions (BOI), sole proprietorships, and partnerships.
Limited Companies
This is the most popular registration of choice for non-Thai nationals who want to do business in the Kingdom. Shareholders in limited companies can only own a limited amount of unpaid shares they hold. The Thai law limits foreign ownership to 49% of all shares, while the remaining 51% need to be owned by Thais.
Board of Investment (BOI) Promotion
Board of Investment is the best choice for those who want to own 100% of their company. There are several categories for your company to be promoted by BOI. Applying for a BOI promotion is a challenging process, not to mention time-consuming. However, it might be worth it.
Sole Proprietorships
A sole proprietorship is a registered company that is owned by a person who also acts as the operator. A foreigner can do business as a sole proprietorship, but it can be hard f the company does not qualify.
Partnerships
There are three types of partnerships in Thailand, according to the Thai Civil and Commercial Code. These include limited partnerships, unregistered ordinary partnerships, and ordinary registered partnerships.

Frequently Asked Questions about Corporate Services
One of the main conditions is that the majority of shares in a Thai company have to be owned by a Thai national, except if the project is part of a special Board of Investment (BOI) program. This condition means that foreigners can only own up to 49% of the shares, while Thai citizens should own the remaining 51%. However, the 49% limit can be exceeded or exempted for certain business activities if a Foreign Business License is granted. Foreign Business Licenses are generally granted to unique foreign-owned businesses that do not compete with Thai companies.
One of the benefits is that a Thai majority company can purchase land. This means that, as a foreign investor, you can buy property in Thailand.
A Thai majority company also requires less capital and paperwork to set up and maintain compared to a registered foreign company.
The minimum capital requirement for a Thai majority shareholder company (limited) is 2 million Baht, and a government set up fee of around 7,00 Baht. If your business needs to obtain a Foreign Business License, the minimum capital requirement would be 2 million Baht for each business activity.
The requirement is reduced to 1 million Baht if you have a Thai spouse.
Yes, it is possible. It is simply not true that foreigners cannot own 100% of a Thai company. There are three ways that this can be done, including obtaining a Foreign Busines License, Board of Investment (BOI) Promotion, and registration through the Treaty of Amity (for US citizens).
