Division 01: Crop and animal production, hunting and related service activities
This division takes in Britain's working farms: arable growers, livestock keepers and the contractors who support them. Mixed farming under 01500 is the most common registration, chosen by family farms that combine crops and animals rather than commit to a single enterprise code. Cereal and oilseed growers file under 01110, while agricultural contractors, from crop spraying outfits to livestock and shearing services, sit in the support codes 01610 and 01629. Many registrations here are long-established partnerships that have only recently incorporated.
Accountants with rural specialisms watch this division closely, because farm incorporation usually signals a restructuring that needs ongoing compliance work, from payroll to capital allowances on machinery. Land agents, agricultural insurers and machinery dealers prospect here too. A fresh incorporation date is the strongest signal, often marking a succession event or a diversification project. The no-website flag is unusually common among farming companies, which makes it a useful filter for web designers and rural marketing services, while filing deadlines help accountants time their approach.

About SIC 01110
How many UK companies use SIC code 01110?
4,069 active UK companies include 01110 (Growing of cereals (except rice), leguminous crops and oil seeds) among their up-to-four registered SIC codes, of which 4,069 list it first. Figures are from the July 2026 Companies House register snapshot, counting active companies only.
Should a farm register under mixed farming (01500) or a specific crop or livestock code?
Pick the code that best matches where the bulk of turnover comes from. If the business genuinely combines arable and livestock with neither dominating, 01500 mixed farming is the accurate choice, whereas a specialist cereal grower sits better under 01110. Companies House does not check the selection, and you can update it on your next confirmation statement if the balance of the business shifts.
Can an agricultural contractor also list a haulage or plant hire code?
Yes. A company can hold up to four SIC codes at once, and they can come from completely different divisions. Many contractors pair 01610 or 01629 with a transport or machinery rental code to reflect secondary income. Codes are self-declared at incorporation or amended through the annual confirmation statement (form CS01), with no approval step involved.
