A business example
A company formed to manufacture furniture wants to add a separate equipment-leasing business.
Proposed activity
Write down what will be leased and how the company will earn income.
Current objects
Compare that activity with the wording in the company's current memorandum.
Decision
Assess whether the existing objects cover the proposal before proceeding.
What this shows
The useful question is whether the actual new activity fits the constitutional document, not whether the company's trading name sounds broad enough.
What it is often confused with
The memorandum describes the company's constitutional scope; the articles address its internal governance.
What to look at in your business
Read the current document, including registered amendments, rather than an incorporation draft.
