SIC codes

1 to 100 of 1265

The Standard Industrial Classification names what a company does. Every UK company gives Companies House at least one code and up to four, and they are the codes a buyer, a lender and an insurer read to decide what kind of business this is. A code that no longer describes the trade is a small, cheap thing to fix and a common cause of a mispriced quote.

Where these come from

Companies House publishes its enumerations openly, and snapdue vendors them so a code never renders as a raw string. The register is free to anyone, and so is this.
