The name you can choose for your company must not be identical to or resemble the name of a pre-existing registered partnership or company.
Certain terms are also prohibited from being used in company names. For example, the term investment cannot be used, but capital can be used. The company name must end with the word Limited.
The name must be reserved with the Department of Business Development (DBD) of the Ministry of Commerce. It is recommended to reserve three names ranked by priority to maximise the chances of your success.
The company name will be registered in Thai, even if its name is in English. Do not propose a name that is lengthy of difficult for non-English speakers. The name of your business can be different from the company name. You can also use the same name for several companies provided that you accompany the name with a different figurative word (for example, ABC Trading Ltd, ABC Holdings Ltd or ABC Capital Ltd).
Once the name is approved, the name will be valid for 30 days, and no extension is permitted. Within this period of time, step two must be completed.
