A worked example: 82990, registered office in London, incorporated in the last ninety days, from a pool of 209,381. 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.

How to read SIC 82990
SIC 82990 reads as division 82 (office administrative, office support and other business support activities), group 829, class 8299, 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 82990 is the company's own description of what it does, and 163,536 list it first where 209,381 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.
