FAQ
What is an SIC code?
The Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code is a five-digit numerical code used to classify and categorise businesses in the UK based on their primary economic activities.
Why do I need an SIC code?
UK government agencies such as Companies House and the Office of National Statistics use SIC codes to identify and categorise different types of businesses and monitor their growth and decline. Therefore, it is mandatory for you to provide at least one SIC code while registering your company.
How do I find my UK SIC code?
You can search for the appropriate SIC code for your company in the condensed list of SIC codes provided by Companies House or use our handy free online tool above
Can I have multiple SIC codes for my business?
Yes, businesses in the UK can have multiple SIC codes. You can choose codes that represent various aspects of your business activities to accurately describe the range of services or products you offer. This gives you the flexibility to accurately describe the range of products or services you offer, making it easier to classify your business based on its diverse economic activities.
What if my SIC code is wrong?
If your SIC code is incorrect, you should contact Companies House to update it so that it accurately reflects your primary business activities.
