What SIC Code Should I Use When Incorporating a Company?

  • Published: 7 April 2026

A Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code identifies the main business activity of your company. When incorporating with Companies House, at least one SIC code must be selected.

Each code represents a specific industry or type of activity, such as software development, consulting, retail, or manufacturing.

You can search the official SIC directory on the Companies House website and choose the option that best matches your business activity. If your company performs several activities, you may select multiple SIC codes, provided they accurately reflect the nature of the business.
