How to read SIC 91012
SIC 91012 reads as division 91 (libraries, archives, museums and other cultural activities), group 910, class 9101, then the full five digits, inside section R, arts, entertainment and recreation. A company picks its own codes, up to four, and Companies House does not check them, so 91012 is the company's own description of what it does, and 316 list it first where 772 list it anywhere.
Who sells into division 91
Ticketing and visitor management systems, EPOS and retail for gift shops, exhibition design and fit-out, conservation supplies and specialist insurance all sell into this division. Funding and grant consultants do too.
About SIC 91012
How many UK companies use SIC code 91012?
772 active UK companies list 91012 (Archives activities) among their registered SIC codes. Each company may register up to four. Of those, 316 put it first. The figures come from the August 2026 Companies House register snapshot, and count active companies only.
Why do so few museums list 91020 as their first SIC code?
Because the registered entity is usually a charitable company whose objects are broader than running a museum. The first code often describes the charity in general terms and the museum activity appears second. If you want the real population, match on any of the four SIC positions rather than the first.
