HOW TO MAKE A JOINT VENTURE A RECIPE FOR SUCCESS IN THAILAND
It is easy for foreigners to set up a wholly foreign owned enterprise (WFOE) in Thailand. However, such firms are subject to limitations, for example in trading and providing services. A Joint Venture with a Thai majority, on the other hand, is free to do anything that is possible for Thai companies. Even in such a Joint Venture, foreigners may legally have a majority of voting rights and preferential dividend rights.
Yet this must be properly planned from the very outset and cleverly set up from a legal point of view. Once the company has been established, there is very little that one can do about it.
Sanet Legal, the German lawyers in Thailand for corporate law, explain how to make a Joint Venture in Thailand a successful concept. They also point out legal options that many investors have probably not considered yet.
