Types of Business organizations - Limited Companies

Shareholders enjoy limited liability, i.e. limited to the remaining unpaid amount, if any, of the par values of their shares. The liability of the directors, however, may be unlimited if so provided in the company's Memorandum of Association or the Articles of Incorporation. The limited company is managed by a Board of Directors according to the company's charter and by-laws.

All shares must be subscribed to, and at least 25 percent of the subscribed shares must be paid up. Both common and preferred shares of stock may be issued, but all shares must have voting rights. Thai law prohibits the issuance of shares with no par value. It also stipulates that only shares with a par value of 5 Baht or above may be issued. Treasury shares are prohibited.

A minimum of seven shareholders is required at all times. Aliens may wholly own a private limited company. However, in those activities reserved for Thai nationals, the aliens' participation is generally allowed only up to a maximum of 49 percent.

The registration fee for a private limited company is 5,500 Baht per 1,000,000 Baht of registered capital.
