(1) type of business activities; (2) purpose of the business


Explanation:
Both of these English terms are common in business registration forms in which businesses are registered with a government agency.

----------------
"scope" is never used in any contemplated context. This is a quantitative term, not qualitative.
"line of business" is too narrow. "lines of business" is possible, but unidiomatic.
"subject" of business is so unidiomatic as to be almost unheard-of (i.e. very rare).

company objects


Explanation:
This is the most accurate version.

Quote from the reference web page, which may ring a bell:

Companies incorporated before 1989 usually had very long objects clauses, setting out in detail all the possible types of business the company may want to engage in, followed by supplementary objects or powers covering all the standard activities of a company such as taking interests in land, borrowing money, lending money, employing people, etc. Such prolixity was an attempt to avoid the effects of the ultra vires rule.
