SIC codes: find your business activity code

A SIC code is a five-digit number that says what a business does. SIC stands for Standard Industrial Classification: the UK SIC 2007 system divides the economy into 21 sections lettered A to U, which break down into the five-digit codes. (ONS: UK SIC 2007)

When a company is set up or files its confirmation statement, it picks its codes from the condensed SIC 2007 list Companies House publishes. The whole list is below. (Companies House)

A revised SIC 2026 is effective from 14 April 2026, but ONS says it is not yet in operational use. (ONS: SIC 2026 revision)

This guide is not legal advice; the official links give the full lists.
