Frequently asked questions

Is this a legal or accounting workshop?

No. This is an informal, experience-based discussion. We’ll talk about the legal frameworks and common business structures, but not give legal advice or paperwork walkthroughs.

Do I need a business idea already to attend?

Not at all. You’re welcome whether you’re still exploring possibilities or already halfway through launching. The session is designed to give clarity and perspective at any stage.

What kind of businesses will this be useful for?

Most attendees are looking into service-based, lifestyle, consulting, F&B, e-commerce, or wellness businesses. But the topics are relevant across industries, especially for foreigners.

How is this different from a webinar or online guide?

It’s interactive, personal, and grounded in real-world experience. You’ll hear what actually happens—not just what’s on paper. And you’ll be able to ask follow-up questions directly.

What’s included in the VIP ticket?

A private 1:1 session after the group meetup to talk specifically about your business idea, strategy, or Thailand entry plan. Ideal if you want deeper feedback or next-step guidance.
