Understanding Companies House SIC Codes: A Quick Guide
What are SIC codes?
Standard Industrial Classification codes (SIC codes) are four-digit numbers assigned by Companies House to every UK company. They cover:
- Primary industry (e.g. 6201 = computer programming)
- Secondary activities (e.g. 6920 = accounting)
- Sector nuances (e.g. niche manufacturing subcategories)
By tagging each startup with its SIC code, you gain clarity on what they actually do, at a glance.
Why SIC codes matter for SEIS & EIS investors
SEIS and EIS schemes exist to channel funds into early-stage and growth-stage ventures, offering tax relief to investors. Matching your risk appetite with the right sector improves outcomes. For instance:
- SEIS rewards you with up to 50% income tax relief on qualifying investments. Explore SEIS opportunities by sector
- EIS offers 30% income tax relief plus capital gains deferral. Understand EIS tax relief by industry
SIC codes cut through the noise, letting you filter startups by industry code rather than wading through generic tags.
Oriel IPO: Merging Companies House integration with the SEIS/EIS Marketplace
Most integration tools focus on CRM or ERP workflows. They pull SIC codes into Dynamics or Salesforce to standardise your sales pipeline, but they rarely cater to investors. Oriel IPO flips that model by embedding Companies House integration directly into an investment platform. Here’s what you get:
- Commission-free marketplace powered by subscription fees
- Curated, vetted startup profiles aligned with official SIC codes
- Educational guides on SEIS and EIS compliance
This approach bridges the gap between official company data and the tax-efficient investment world. No more manual lookups on the Companies House site—every startup listing comes pre-tagged.
Benefits of SIC-Driven Investment Discovery
Using SIC codes in your investment hunt brings clear advantages:
- Laser-focused sector filters. Zero in on fintech, biotech or sustainable goods in a heartbeat.
- Time savings. Skip manual research and drills into accounts.
- Consistency. Every listing uses the same classification system.
- Compliance certainty. SIC codes ensure businesses meet scheme eligibility at the industry level.
