Business brokers in Chiang Mai
Business brokers in Chiang Mai who list real, verifiable businesses and can walk a foreign buyer through a Thai transfer.
The broker market in Chiang Mai is uneven. The good ones qualify their sellers, hold real financials, and understand that a foreign buyer needs a legal ownership structure, not just a handshake. The rest relist the same tired bars and coffee shops at inflated key money and hope someone bites.
Brokers usually work on commission from the seller, commonly around 5 to 10 percent, so remember whose side they are on and get your own valuation and due diligence. A broker who pushes back on independent checks is telling you something.
Common questions
- How much commission do business brokers charge in Thailand?
- Usually 5 to 10 percent of the sale price, paid by the seller. Because the broker is paid by the seller, a buyer should still commission an independent valuation and due diligence.
- What is key money on a Thai business?
- Key money is an upfront lump the buyer pays for the lease, fit-out, and goodwill of a location, separate from rent. It is often where an inflated asking price hides, so scrutinize what you actually get for it.
