Setting up a Corian fabrication company in France?

I manufacture worktops from acrylic material. Normally I would use either​ ​Corian or Krion. The raw material,​ ​corian is produced by DuPont and Krion by​ ​Porcelanosa who have retail outlets throughout France. Depending on how the​ ​material is being used can alter how we go about the project. If for​ ​instance it is being used in a domestic kitchen for a kitchen worktop I will​ ​explain the process.​

​Visit to client’s home to take sizes or make a template of the shape of the​ ​room.​ ​The template is then​ ​taken to our workshop where it is used to cut and shape​ ​the Corian to the desired shape. The cutting and shaping is carried out in a​ ​set up similar to a joinery workshop. A kitchen would normally take one week​ ​to make. Once the surface is made it is taken back to the client’s home to​ ​fit​.​​ ​This process takes about 4 hours to stick and bond the sections​ ​together. The joints are then polished out so the joints are invisible. I​ ​work with my son to do all these processes.

The raw material can be​ ​purchased in France.​ ​It is our intention to move over to France on 7 October 2017 for 6 months. We have rented a property in Perpignan and this is paid for. During this​ ​period we will look for work and look for a home we can purchase if we are​ ​able to set up a business in France that will bring in enough income to support us.​ ​We would be able to bring about 250​,​000 euros into the country. We could also​ ​rent a workshop or it may be possible to work from a workshop attached to​ ​our home.​

​Please can you tell me if it is the sort of business you could register for​ ​us and what else we would have to put in place to be able to work?
