Thailand is a country full of tourist attractions and tourist destination sites. From beautiful white sand beaches and crystal clear waters of Krabi and Phuket to luscious and grand mountains and forests in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, you can experience it all when you visit Thailand. Whenever you visit a country one of the requisites is the hotel where you will stay.
There are a lot of gorgeous hotels in Thailand since it is one of the tourist hotspots in Southeast Asia. And because of the constant entry of tourists in Thailand many foreigners are considering building their business in Thailand, and some consider taking over existing businesses in Thailand.
One of the types of businesses that foreigners are taking over in Thailand is the hotel industry. Hotels in Phuket and Krabi are being taken over and brought by foreign investors. However, there are certain risks when purchasing preexisting hotels or any other businesses. To avoid such risks, you have to run a Due Diligence regarding the business you are interested in, with Juslaws & Consult, we offer Hotel Due Diligence, Corporate Due Diligence. Factory Due Diligence, Property, and Real Estate Due Diligence, etc.
Hotel Acquisition is a major business transaction, therefore, a Hotel Due Diligence came to life in order to safeguard the interest of the buyer or the one who will take over the business. Hotel Due Diligence focuses both on the physical nature of the hotel and the hotel assets and liabilities.
During a Hotel Due Diligence, the buyer must be able to understand the hotel’s structure and environment, the buyer must also be introduced to the hotel’s market and viability of the business itself. And, before finalizing or engaging with the seller of the hotel, it is also important to raise awareness for the buyer regarding the legality of the transaction and the background of the hotel and its owners.
Hotel Due Diligence usually tackles and checks any liabilities of the current shareholders and owners of the Hotel. Furthermore, the process also checks any possible liabilities that may be bequeathed to the potential buyer.
