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 41 per cent of them and London alone 36 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: 70210, registered office in London, incorporated in the last ninety days, from a pool of 15,742. 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 70210
SIC 70210 reads as division 70 (activities of head offices; management consultancy activities), group 702, class 7021, 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 70210 is the company's own description of what it does, and 12,425 list it first where 15,742 list it anywhere.

About SIC 70210
How many UK companies use SIC code 70210?
15,742 active UK companies list 70210 (Public relations and communications activities) among their registered SIC codes. Each company may register up to four. Of those, 12,425 put it first. The figures come from the August 2026 Companies House register snapshot, and count active companies only.
Why do so many contractors register under SIC code 70229?
It is broad enough to cover almost any professional advisory work. That made it the default for interim managers and consultants setting up personal service companies. Nobody vets it. The code is simply what the director declared at incorporation or on a confirmation statement. That breadth is also why a list built on 70229 alone mixes real consultancies with individual contractors from every industry.
