In most cases, the preferred first step to setting up a new business in Thailand is the establishment of a Thai Limited Company. In Thailand, there is no Limited Liability Company (LLC) that can be quickly created. Instead, a more formalized incorporation process takes place, for which there are two essential documents; the Articles of Association and the Memorandum of Association, both of which must be registered with the Thai Ministry of Commerce. Articles of Association can be tailored to suit the specific needs of a company, as long as the original shareholders and promoters (if different) agree to the terms in writing.

Thai Limited companies are the preferred route for setting up a business in Thailand, largely because they are so similar to co-operations in other developed nations. The process will therefore feel familiar to businesspeople, even if they have little or no experience of business in Thailand. All limited companies have directors, shareholders (both Thai and foreign in many cases), promoters, and limited liability. In this case, limited liability means that the shareholder in a Thai company can only ever lose what capital they invested.

Aside from familiarity, Thai limited companies are a popular way of doing business because they offer any number ways of generating profit. Although there are double taxation issues (on both the earnings of the company and dividends), many of these issues can be easily resolved by rolling profits into the salaries of directors and other shareholders.

Another benefit of the Thai Limited Company is that the rights and obligations of all parties are set down in writing, ensuring everyone has a clear understanding of their legal standing within a company, unlike some joint ventures where a number of duties and privileges can drift into a complex grey area. With a Thai limited Company, all legal entitlements and responsibilities are clearly stated and available for reference when required.
