Startup Company - Clearing the muddy waters

[Sunmaster]

Hi all

As I'm about to register a new company here, I contacted a licensed accountant who would do all the paperwork, but I would like to clear up a few points with you experts before proceeding.

 

Thai employees: I know I need 4 Thais and pay for their social security. At the moment I have 1 that I need, the other 3 would be, let's say part-time for now.
Is it correct that my Thai wife can be a shareholder as well as an employee? Can the 3rd shareholder also be an employee?

 

Location: I already have an office location (detached house), but the rental agreement is for personal use only. If the landlord won't agree to change the agreement to "business", do I have to look for another premise?

 

Sales: I sell mainly new products, but also have a few second hand items. Is it true that to export second hand products I would need a special licence?

 

Thank you for your help
