Required Documents
- Latest financials + 18-month cash-flow forecast
- Term sheet with interest, discount, cap, maturity
- Board + shareholders' resolutions
- Investor KYC/AML (source of funds)
- Existing debt schedule (for subordination)
Common Pitfalls
- Interest over 15% p.a. is void under the Usury Act — keep it 4–8%
- No 'qualified financing' definition creates conversion ambiguity
- Reaching maturity unconverted turns the note into a due debt — insolvency risk
- Foreign lender + THB loan triggers BOT FX reporting (Form TorTor 3)
Typical Use-cases
- Fintech raising THB 20M from a CVC ahead of Series A
- Revenue-generating ecommerce needing a 6-month bridge
- Hard-to-value deep-tech using note + valuation cap
FAQ

- Can foreign investors participate?
- Yes — but must report to BOT via an authorised bank within 15 days and comply with FBA on conversion.
