How to read SIC 70229
SIC 70229 reads as division 70 (activities of head offices; management consultancy activities), group 702, class 7022, 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 70229 is the company's own description of what it does, and 205,961 list it first where 268,961 list it anywhere.

About SIC 70229
Why do so many firms file SIC 70229 by mistake?
The name sounds broad enough to cover almost anything. A founder setting up an unusual business often picks it by default. So SIC 70229 holds real consultancies next to agencies, freelance ops people, fractional CXOs, and firms that belong under tighter codes.
Is there a tighter SIC code for management consultancy?
No. UK SIC 2007 does not split management consulting any further. Narrow the list another way instead. Company size (one director or several) and location both work well.
