I started an auto-entrepreneur business in January 2011 in France as a carpenter, with decorating as a secondary activity. All was going well until I crushed and broke my right hand a few years ago. Subsequently it has become apparent that I can no longer continue with these activities profitably. I have an opportunity to take on some light gardening work, e.g. mowing, weeding and hedge-trimming, planting etc. and wondered whether you could:

Advise the appropriate activité principale exercée (APE) code for this activity? I believe it may be Les Petits travaux de Jardinage.
Advise the appropriate APE code for petit travaux de bricolage? I will be able to continue with small works, e.g. constructing kitchen cupboards, changing door handles and putting up curtains etc. general handyman stuff.
Advise the process for changing my existing activities to the new ones?
Clarify which (if any) insurance I should have for the new activities?
Confirm whether I have to have a bank account solely for business transactions?
