Buying or selling a business
Buying or Selling a Thai Company
Ownership of a Thai company changes hands through four pieces of legal work: establishing whether the deal is ready, examining the target or preparing the seller, drafting and negotiating the documents, and completing the transfer. Corporly scopes each one separately, with one named legal lead across the matter. You can stop after any module and still hold something you paid for and can use.

Scope and deliverables
What this service includes
- Transaction readiness assessment — whether the parties, the target and the records are in a state where a deal can proceed, and what would have to change first
- Buyer legal due diligence — a structured review of the target's corporate, contractual and records position, reported as issues with the evidence behind them
- Seller preparation — putting records, consents and contracts in order before a buyer's adviser asks for them
- Transaction documents and negotiation — separately scoped drafting and negotiation of the share purchase or asset transfer documents
- Completion and post-completion — the transfer itself, the corporate filings that follow, and the records the new owner inherits
- One named legal lead for the matter, a conflict check before engagement, and a secure document request list rather than an open-ended email chain
What we need from you
Information required from the client
- Whether you are buying or selling, and how far the discussion has reached
- The target company's name and registration number, and the parties involved
- The structure under discussion — shares or assets — where it has been discussed
- Whether price, heads of terms or exclusivity have been agreed
- Any deadline the parties are working to
Who it's for
Is this the right service for you?
- Buyers acquiring one Thai company, where the parties and the records are identifiable
- Owners preparing a Thai SME for sale, or responding to an approach
- Foreign buyers of a Thai target who need the ownership and licensing questions identified before the deal is priced
- Investment teams that want each stage scoped and priced on its own rather than as a single transaction fee
Limitations
What this service does not cover
- A matter is accepted only after a conflict check and a scope review confirm the named legal lead can deliver it proportionately — where it does not fit, we say so and refer
- Tax structuring, financial due diligence, valuation and overseas-law questions are identified and assigned to qualified advisers; they are not answered inside this scope
- Regulated activities, distressed businesses, heavily licensed operations, material property or environmental exposure and multi-country groups need specialist review before acceptance
- Corporly is not a broker: we do not find buyers or sellers, negotiate price, or advise on whether a deal is commercially worth doing
- Completion timing depends on the parties, their advisers and government processing, and cannot be fixed in advance
How it works
The process, step by step.
01
Enquiry and conflict check
Tell us who is involved and how far the discussion has reached. We run the conflict check before anything else.
02
Fit and capacity review
We confirm the matter is one the named legal lead can deliver proportionately — and say so at this stage if it is not.
03
Discovery and scoped engagement
You receive the module, its scope and exclusions, the fee basis, your obligations and any handoffs to other advisers.
04
The work
Documents are requested through a secure list and reviewed for completeness, then the module's output is prepared and reviewed before it reaches you.
05
Module output and decision
You receive the deliverable and decide whether to continue to the next module. A deal that stalls does not leave you owing for work that was never done.
Pricing
How pricing works for this service
Each module is scoped and quoted on its own, and payment follows completed work rather than depending on the transaction closing. Where a module's scope cannot be fixed in advance, the fee basis and its limits are written down before work starts, and any further work is agreed before it is carried out. Government charges and third-party adviser fees are identified separately from the professional fee.
Frequently asked questions
Questions about buying or selling a thai company.
Yes — that is what the structure is for. A readiness assessment, or due diligence on its own, is a complete piece of work. Many enquiries stop there, and that is a legitimate outcome rather than a failed sale.
