How to read SIC 69201
SIC 69201 reads as division 69 (legal and accounting activities), group 692, class 6920, then the full five digits, inside section M, professional, scientific and technical activities. A company picks its own codes, up to four, and Companies House does not check them, so 69201 is the company's own description of what it does, and 40,629 list it first where 43,388 list it anywhere.
Who sells into division 69
Lots of suppliers chase these firms, because they buy software and services every year. They need practice management platforms, tax and audit tools, legal case management and professional indemnity insurance.
About SIC 69201
Is SIC 69201 the right code for sole-director bookkeepers?
No. A solo bookkeeper should file 69202 instead. 69201 says the practice does full audit and accounts work. That work needs ICAEW, ACCA or similar regulation behind it.
How do I find UK accountancy practices with year-end filing capacity?
Filter SIC 69201 plus an accounting category of 'small' or 'medium'. That stands in well for headcount above 10. It also drops the one-person practices, who rarely have room to take on more work.
