ACTIVE COMPANIES BY REGISTERED-OFFICE POST TOWN (WHERE THE PAPERWORK SITS, NOT NECESSARILY THE WORK) · COMPANIES HOUSE PUBLIC RECORD, AUGUST 2026
The five busiest post towns hold 39 per cent of them and London alone 31 per cent. Selling nationally, those towns are most of the market. Selling locally outside them, expect a small pool, so cover a county or a region rather than one town.
A worked example: 18201, registered office in London, incorporated in the last ninety days, from a pool of 1,054. Each lead you get arrives with a working website and a real email, and the director's name when the record has one. If we cannot complete one, you pay nothing.

How to read SIC 18201
SIC 18201 reads as division 18 (printing and reproduction of recorded media), group 182, class 1820, then the full five digits, inside section C, manufacturing. A company picks its own codes, up to four, and Companies House does not check them, so 18201 is the company's own description of what it does, and 1,025 list it first where 1,054 list it anywhere.
Who sells into division 18
Printers buy a distinctive mix. They need paper and consumables, equipment leasing and workflow software.

List both. A division 18 code such as 18129 covers the print side. Code 74100, specialised design activities, covers the studio work. A company can register up to four codes from any divisions. There is no need to squeeze a mixed business under one label. Listing your main revenue code first is a useful habit, but not a rule.
