Bangkok is a city where new businesses keep taking root. In 2024, more than 87,000 companies were registered with the Department of Business Development, the highest on record. For both local entrepreneurs and international investors, the capital’s appeal is clear: direct access to ASEAN, strong infrastructure, and a business environment that balances competitiveness with opportunity.
Whether for a startup or a multinational, the initial challenge is the same: establishing a credible address. Without one, DBD filings, VAT registration, and corporate banking become difficult. Servcorp’s Company Registration Package resolves this with an address built for compliance and credibility.
Why foreign businesses establish branches in Bangkok
For multinationals and overseas investors, a branch in Bangkok offers strategic advantages:
- Regional access: Central location with direct links across ASEAN.
- Infrastructure strength: Airports, seaports, and highways that support trade and logistics.
- Cost competitiveness: Lower operating costs compared with regional hubs like Singapore or Hong Kong.
- Market credibility: A registered presence in Bangkok demonstrates commitment to partners, clients, and regulators.
- Simplified process: Updates to the Civil and Commercial Code and DBD’s digital registration tools have made market entry faster and more straightforward.
Why SMEs should use the Company Registration Package
- For SMEs, the priorities are different. Long-term leases and high overheads can slow growth before it even begins. Servcorp’s Company Registration Package provides SMEs with the essentials in one step:
- Cost-efficient: A regulator-approved business address accepted by the DBD and Revenue Department, provided at affordable pricing and a fraction of traditional office lease costs.
- Scalable: Begin with a registration office and expand into private or coworking space as the team grows.
- Credible: Prestigious CBD locations such as CentralWorld or Dusit Central Park enhance trust with clients, partners, and banks.
- Supported: Mail handling, a local phone line answered in the company’s name, and bilingual staff project the presence of a larger business.
- Focused: With administration handled, SMEs can direct resources to building clients and revenue.
The package combines compliance and flexibility, allowing both foreign companies and SMEs to grow at their own speed while meeting every regulatory requirement.
What you need to prepare for company registration in Thailand
Before starting the company registration process, you should have:
- Company name reservation with the DBD
- Shareholders and directors: at least two shareholders and one director, in line with the Civil and Commercial Code
- Registered capital: amount depends on whether you are a Thai limited company, a foreign majority-owned company, or seeking a Foreign Business License
- Business objectives that comply with Thai law and the Foreign Business Act
- A valid registered office space in Bangkok, such as Servcorp’s Company Registration Office
- Documents to open a company bank account for depositing share capital and handling business transactions
- Preparation for compliance with the Revenue Department (corporate income tax, VAT registration) and the Social Security Office once employees are hired
These steps ensure your Thailand company registration meets the requirements of the DBD and the Thai government while setting a solid foundation for future business operations.
