SIC 82190 in numbers
1,936 companies is 0.04 per cent of the 5,190,464 active companies on the UK register. 82190 is the 6th most used of the 8 codes we track in division 82.
Only 938 of the 1,936 put it first. The other 998, 52 per cent, list it behind another code, so a search on the first code alone would miss most of them. Match any of the four positions and tighten it with a second filter.

How to read SIC 82190
SIC 82190 reads as division 82 (office administrative, office support and other business support activities), group 821, class 8219, then the full five digits, inside section N, administrative and support service activities. A company picks its own codes, up to four, and Companies House does not check them, so 82190 is the company's own description of what it does, and 938 list it first where 1,936 list it anywhere.
Who sells into division 82
Work the edges of this division, not the middle. Event organisers under 82301 and 82302 buy venues, AV production, registration platforms, sponsorship sales and event insurance.
About SIC 82190
How many UK companies use SIC code 82190?
1,936 active UK companies list 82190 (Photocopying, document preparation and other specialised office support activities) among their registered SIC codes. Each company may register up to four. Of those, 938 put it first. The figures come from the August 2026 Companies House register snapshot, and count active companies only.
Is it a problem that my company is registered under 82990?
Not legally. Code 82990 is valid and Companies House never queries the choice. The downside is visibility. Directories, lenders and data platforms cannot tell what you do from a catch-all entry. If a better code exists for your trade, swap it in on your next confirmation statement (CS01). You can hold up to 4 codes, so you can keep 82990 alongside it.
