Standard industrial classification (SIC) codes for local authorities/councils.
3. Â Information Released
The SIC code list is owned by the Office of National Statistics and it is for a company to determine which code from the list best describes its business activity when providing that information to Companies House.
To be of assistance, a company can have the word 바카라 사이트˜council바카라 사이트™ in its name without being a local authority. A local authority could possibly be an incorporated body under various legislation but is not likely to be a commercial company. If a local authority/council have a commercial arm, this may be registered as a company with Companies House.
Companies House provides access to company information, you may wish to conduct some searches to ascertain if there are any councils/local authorities listed and what SIC code they have chosen to use. Companies House does not collate information by sector but does provide products to allow you to interrogate the register yourself.
Companies House only registers information relating to companies and some other entities, so it possible that we may not have these listed on our records.
