JOINT VENTURES

Joint ventures and strategic alliances can be effective mechanisms of pursuing economic growth and expansion of businesses.
Joint ventures can range from collaboration and cooperation arrangements and shareholder agreements to mergers of two or more legal companies operating in the same industry or in related activities and markets, having similar goals and growth strategies.

Under the Thai Civil Code, a joint venture is not considered a legal entity, but an agreement between individuals or companies. On the contrary, under the Revenue Department a joint venture is recognized as a taxable entity with its own separate accounts and must file a tax return and register as a value added tax operator if the annual turnover is higher than 1,8 million Baht.

Joint ventures have a lot of major advantages, including:

  • Gain new insights and expertise

  • Help comply with the Thai ownership quota or ease the startup

  • Help fill a gap in company’s operations or workforce

  • Access to new markets and industries, new channels of distribution

  • Access to better resources, such as specialized staff, machinery and raw materials, and additional financial resources

  • Access to know-how, technology and complementary IP assets

  • Share both the risks and the costs with a partner

  • Create long-lasting business relationship

  • Access to particular projects that are considered too large for individual companies to handle alone

A joint venture collaboration can be highly complex and can easily lead to a loss of shareholder value if not structured in the most efficient way for both parties.
