Key points
The official table links activities and terms to authorities such as the architects' board, estate-agency regulator, education ministry and financial regulator. It also identifies circumstances where a referral is not required. Read the actual category rather than assuming every word related to finance, education or professional work triggers the same process.
Planning your next steps
The page states that referral review may take up to 15 working days. Separate operating licences can still apply after name approval: an approved business name does not authorise a regulated activity. For practical preparation, check both the chosen wording and the activity code, gather any supporting explanation and build the possible referral stage into the registration timetable.
