How to read SIC 82911
SIC 82911 reads as division 82 (office administrative, office support and other business support activities), group 829, class 8291, 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 82911 is the company's own description of what it does, and 517 list it first where 728 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 82911
How many UK companies use SIC code 82911?
728 active UK companies list 82911 (Activities of collection agencies) among their registered SIC codes. Each company may register up to four. Of those, 517 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.
