What you can prepare
Practical preparation suggestions, not a mandatory document list or a substitute for the authority’s requirements.
- Collect the latest certificate and amendments for an existing company.
- Describe each intended activity separately and clearly.
- Ask the registry to match activities to its official classification.
- Review the address, occupancy basis and agreement expiry.
- Schedule a review before any temporary-premises period ends.
- Record ownership, management or activity changes and ask how to register them.
Questions before you decide
Questions to verify your circumstances with the relevant authority, not assumptions of approval or exemption.
- How many activities can a commercial register contain?
- Can a new company use a temporary office?
- How do I change its activity or address?
