- Who runs the RMC and the details of the RMC’s officers.
- Who owns shares in the RMC? The particulars of the shareholders (with RMC’s it is usually the leaseholders).
- Where the company keeps certain company registers.
- What rules govern a company?

Most of this information is registered at Companies House when a company is first formed and, if anything changes, forms can be filed to make the adjustments. An annual return will also be required which is a snapshot of the information held with Companies House at least once every 12 months.
