carrying on a F5registrable business at the specified premises,
being connected to a person carrying on a F6registrable business at the specified premises,
seeking to control a person carrying on a F7registrable business at the specified premises.
A sheriff may make the ancillary order if—

where this section applies by virtue of subsection (1)(a), the sheriff makes the F9... banning order.

in the case of a company—
is a director, or
has control of the company,
in any other case, is concerned in the management or control of the body.
