Increasing company capital in Thailand
Authorized capital is essentially the maximum amount of shares a company is allowed to issue. The limit for Authorized capital is set during the initial incorporation of the company.
However, there may be situations when a company needs to adjust their capital, for example, wanting to attract new shareholders, which can only be done through a shareholder meeting.
How to increase company capital in Thailand?
The capital can be increased via registration at the Department of Business Development (DBD) and consists of the following steps:
- An invitation letter for the extraordinary shareholders’ meeting, approved and signed by one of the directors, has to be published in a local newspaper
- A copy of this letter has to be sent to each shareholder
- Registration forms should be prepared
- Minutes of the extraordinary shareholders’ meeting must be recorded and signed
- Registration for the capital increase must be filed at the DBD
