You will require the following details at hand

1. Registered Office

This is the official address of your company and it must be a full postal address in the country in which your company is incorporated. You cannot use a PO Box Number.

Companies House and HMRC will use this address to deliver all statutory company mail and it will be displayed on public record.

2. Business Activity

You are required to provide Companies House with your new company's business activity. This is done by choosing a SIC code (Standard Industrial Classification code) which describes and classifies business activities.
