Division 82: Office administrative, office support and other business support activities
This division would be modest without 82990, the other business support n.e.c. code, which companies across every industry pick when nothing else describes them. Lists built purely on 82990 are therefore noisy and mixed, spanning virtual assistants, consultants, agencies and outright misclassifications. The specific codes are far more coherent: 82110 covers combined office administrative services, 82301 exhibition and fair organisers, 82302 conference organisers, and 82920 the packaging and fulfilment trade that has grown alongside online retail.
Work the edges rather than the middle. Event organisers under 82301 and 82302 buy venues, AV production, registration platforms, sponsorship sales and event insurance, with new incorporations often marking an events director going independent. Packaging and fulfilment companies under 82920 attract machinery suppliers, courier partnerships and warehouse property agents. For 82990 itself, layer other filters before outreach: incorporation date, location, officer history and web presence turn an unusable catch-all into a source of otherwise unlisted businesses that cleaner competitor lists never reach.

About SIC 82302
How many UK companies use SIC code 82302?
6,030 active UK companies include 82302 (Activities of conference organisers) among their up-to-four registered SIC codes, of which 2,576 list it first. Figures are from the July 2026 Companies House register snapshot, counting active companies only.
Is it a problem that my company is registered under 82990?
Not legally: 82990 is a valid code and Companies House never queries the choice. The practical downside is visibility, since directories, lenders and data platforms cannot tell what you do from a catch-all entry. If a more specific code exists for your trade, swap it in on your next confirmation statement (CS01); you can hold up to 4 codes, so nothing stops you keeping 82990 alongside.
What SIC code should a virtual assistant business use?
Most VAs choose either 82110, combined office administrative services, or the broader 82990 when their work spans admin, inbox management and social media. Neither requires approval, and the choice can be changed on any confirmation statement. If a large share of your work is specialised, bookkeeping under 69202 for example, consider listing that code too, since companies may declare up to 4.
