What’s the best way to set up a Pilates business in France?
I have moved to France and I am looking at setting up a Pilates business which also offers massage and physiotherapy services. I have previously worked as a physiotherapist in France and understand that I must apply for registration to work in this profession which I have already done. I am currently looking for a premises which I would like to use as a business and residential premises to start with to keep costs down. Firstly is this possible? Also which administration would be most appropriate for this type of business, e.g. SARL, EURL, EIRL or micro-entrepreneur etc.
I would not be looking to employ anyone on a permanent basis but there may be times where I wish to have someone come in to cover the services whilst I am on holiday, or potentially rent the studio space during times when I am not working.
I have a limited company in the UK which I would like to continue to run services, but during the business setup phase in France I am unlikely to be back in the uk for more than six months therefore wasn’t sure about the possibilities of opening a French branch of a UK business?
