SIC 82200 in numbers
1,554 companies is 0.03 per cent of the 5,190,464 active companies on the UK register. 82200 is the 7th most used of the 8 codes we track in division 82.
Only 873 of the 1,554 put it first. The other 681, 44 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.
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 28 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: 82200, registered office in London, incorporated in the last ninety days, from a pool of 1,554. 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.

Without 82990 this division would be small. That code, other business support n.e.c., is what companies in every industry pick when nothing else describes them.

How to read SIC 82200
SIC 82200 reads as division 82 (office administrative, office support and other business support activities), group 822, class 8220, 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 82200 is the company's own description of what it does, and 873 list it first where 1,554 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 82200
How many UK companies use SIC code 82200?
1,554 active UK companies list 82200 (Activities of call centres) among their registered SIC codes. Each company may register up to four. Of those, 873 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.
