Company Registration in Si Racha — End-to-End Incorporation by Suwanvara Law Firm
Thailand offers several legal-entity forms. The most common is the private limited company (Ltd), followed by the limited partnership; the public limited company is used by larger ventures that raise capital from the public. A limited company must have at least the statutory minimum number of shareholders and a registered capital appropriate to the business. The process — name reservation, drafting the memorandum of association, the statutory meeting, and obtaining the certificate from the Department of Business Development — is relatively quick when documents are ready. We structure the shareholding and prepare the paperwork correctly from the start to avoid delays.

About our team in Si Racha
Si Racha hosts Thailand's largest Japanese community outside Bangkok and the Pinthong and Saha Group industrial estates. Legal work here is factory work: employment contracts and work rules that have to cover Thai staff and foreign management alike, sub-contracting and automotive supply-chain agreements, work permits and visas for foreign staff, and the leases and condominium purchases of families posted here for years at a time.
We cover the Eastern seaboard from our Bangkok branch — meeting clients at the plant and appearing regularly at the Chonburi Provincial Court. We work in Thai, English and Chinese, which suits factories where management and HR do not share a first language.
