🚨 YOU FUNDED THE BUSINESS IN THAILAND. BUT DO YOU ACTUALLY CONTROL THE COMPANY?
You paid for the lease, construction, equipment, licences and launch of the project.
Then you discover that someone else is the registered director, your business partner controls the bank account, and the lease, licences and assets belong to a company you cannot independently manage.
Financing a business does not always give you legal control over the company or its assets.
⚠️ WHAT SHOULD YOU CHECK?
• Who is registered as director and authorised to sign?
• How are shareholder decisions made?
• Who controls the bank accounts and corporate documents?
• Which company holds the lease, licences and assets?
• Are your investments supported by a loan agreement and bank transfer records?
If a dispute arises, the investor may discover that they cannot access the company’s accounts, replace the director, control its assets or recover the money invested.
⚠️ A NOMINEE STRUCTURE IS NOT PROTECTION
Thai shareholders and directors must not be used merely to conceal foreign ownership or circumvent legal restrictions.
Pre-signed resignation letters, powers of attorney and verbal promises do not make an unlawful nominee structure legal. They may create additional risks.
Investor protection must be based on a lawful corporate structure, genuine arrangements and properly prepared documentation.
