Location

Thailand

Outcome

100% foreign ownership in 45 days

The Challenge

The client planned to expand its software business into Thailand but was blocked by foreign ownership limits. Under standard rules, majority Thai ownership would have been required, which was unacceptable to the overseas headquarters. The BOI process looked complex, and earlier attempts to navigate it had stalled the expansion.

Our Approach

01Eligibility assessment

We reviewed the client’s activities against BOI promoted categories and confirmed the route to full foreign ownership.

02Application preparation

We prepared the complete BOI application, including business plan, structure documents and supporting financials, in the format the Board of Investment expects.

03Government Liaison

Our team handled all communication with the authorities, answered queries quickly and kept the file moving.

04Registration and licensing

Once approved, we completed company registration and the licences needed to start operating.

The Result

100% foreign ownership, secured in just 45 days.

100% foreign ownership secured for the Thai entity.

Full process completed in 45 days, against the delays the client had already experienced.

Software expansion unblocked, with the right licences in place from day one.

Why It Matters

For foreign companies, speed and certainty decide whether a market entry succeeds. A managed BOI process meant the leadership team focused on launching the business while we handled the paperwork, officials and timelines.
