Company registration, virtual office and accounting in Nimman — Old City
Nimman and the old city hold Chiang Mai's densest café, restaurant and creative-business belt. Shops here often start small and grow fast enough to need a company.
Zura Labs & Business Hub Co., Ltd.
Short answer
Opening a café in Chiang Mai — when to incorporate?
A single modest branch can start as a sole trader, but once revenue nears the VAT threshold, partners join, or you expand and hire, a company helps with the lease, tax and risk separation. We assess your real figures and name the worthwhile point.
- Incorporate near the VAT threshold or with partners
- A company helps with leases and expansion

Step by step
How a company gets registered from Nimman — Old City
- 01
First call and readiness check
We ask what your Chiang Mai business does, who it sells to, whether clients need tax invoices, how many shareholders there are and which address you intend to register — then say plainly whether now is the time.
On LINE @ZURA or by phone 098-897-9292
- 02
Check the Chiang Mai address you have
Many estates, townhouses and condominiums in Chiang Mai restrict office use in their rules or leases. We read them before filing and list what to request from the owner: the consent-to-use letter, house registration copy and the householder's ID.
Prevents the most common rejection
- 03
If your own address cannot be used
We have no office in Chiang Mai, so we will not register an address there. You may instead register at our Wang Thonglang office in Bangkok — premises we genuinely occupy with staff to receive documents — while you keep working from Chiang Mai.
We only register addresses we occupy
- 04
Reserve the name and set the shareholding
We reserve the name with the DBD with backups, then set the shareholding, registered capital and director authority to match how you work and how the bank will open the account.
Entirely online
- 05
Prepare, sign and file
Memorandum, articles, shareholder list, minutes and forms — assembled with signature points marked, sent to Chiang Mai by post or messenger, then filed via e-Registration or at the DBD office covering the company's seat.
No guarantee on the registrar's queue
- 06
Tax, VAT, social security and the bank account
Tax ID, VAT registration when thresholds or clients require it, employer registration once you hire, and the document set for opening a corporate account at a bank branch in Chiang Mai.
Includes your filing calendar

Monthly closing, filings on schedule, payroll and social security, plus a website stating what you do, which parts of Chiang Mai you serve and how to reach you — so Google and AI assistants can recommend you.

Questions from this zone
Nimman — Old City FAQ
Which registered address works in Nimman — Old City?
Your own address in Nimman — Old City works when the building rules or lease allow it and the owner's documents are complete. We have no premises in this area, so we do not provide a local registered address — our Wang Thonglang office in Bangkok is the alternative.
What should I prepare first?
ID copies for shareholders and directors, two or three preferred company names, the intended registered capital, the actual business activities, and the registered-address documents. Send them on LINE @ZURA and we check completeness first.
