Division 55: Accommodation
Division 55 is where places to stay register. Hotels, guest houses and B&Bs all share 55100. The holiday-let wave shows up under 55209, the usual code for serviced holiday cottages, apartments and hostels. Broader short-stay accommodation uses 55900. Caravan and camping businesses take 55300. One line trips people up, and it is about tenure. Short-stay furnished accommodation for visitors belongs here. Letting a home to tenants on an ordinary tenancy belongs in division 68. A landlord and a holiday-let operator can own similar buildings and still register quite differently.

Who prospects SIC 55300 companies
Accommodation businesses buy all year, so a wide crowd sells to them. Channel managers and booking software vendors lead. Linen and laundry services, housekeeping and cleaning contractors, utility and insurance brokers follow. Marketing agencies pitch direct-booking websites. Accountants target holiday-let companies over furnished holiday letting rules and VAT thresholds. A new incorporation often marks a property purchase, or a move from personal to company ownership. Both are moments when owners want advice. An accommodation code plus the poor-website filter is a strong opening for anyone selling booking engines or photography.

SIC 55300 is a five-digit code, and the digits are not arbitrary. The first two, 55, are the division, accommodation. Add the third and you have group 553; the fourth narrows it to a class, and the fifth to the subclass, which is the level Companies House actually asks a company to pick. The whole division sits under section I, accommodation and food service, the broadest tier there is. Reading a code left to right therefore goes from a whole sector down to one activity.
A company chooses its own codes when it incorporates and can change them on any confirmation statement. It may list up to four, and Companies House does not check whether they are right. That is why 55300 is worth reading as a claim the company made about itself rather than as a verified fact, and why the first-position and any-position counts above differ.
Measured on the August 2026 register, the busiest registered-office post towns for 55300 are London (115), Attleborough (35), Lancaster (34), Skegness (32) and Norwich (30). Those are registered-office locations, which is where the paperwork sits rather than necessarily where the work happens, so treat them as where to start looking rather than as a service area.
Using SIC 55300 as a filter
3,348 companies is 0.06 per cent of the 5,190,464 active companies on the UK register, and ranks 55300 4th most used of the 5 codes we track in division 55. That is the pool before any filter. Whether it is a big market for you depends on what you sell, but it is the number every other filter on this page cuts down from.
2,758 companies put 55300 first and a further 590, 18 per cent, list it in one of their other three SIC slots. That gap is the difference between a tight list and a broad one. First-code-only is the safer filter when you are writing to them; matching any position is worth it when you need the volume.
These companies are spread out. London is the largest single cluster at 3 per cent and the top five post towns together hold only 7 per cent, so the remaining 93 per cent sits across the rest of the country. A regional filter narrows this list without gutting it, which makes it a reasonable code to work territory by territory.
In practice the code on its own is rarely the whole filter. Pair 55300 with an incorporation date to catch companies in their first months, when they are still choosing suppliers, or with a filing deadline to reach them while the year end is on their mind. A worked example for this code: 55300, registered office in London, incorporated in the last ninety days, which turns a 3,348 company pool into a list you can write to in an afternoon. Add the poor-website filter if what you sell is a website, or a recent change of officer if you sell to whoever just took the job. Every company you pull carries the Companies House record, the director's name, a verified website and a verified email, and the ones we cannot complete are not charged.

Should a holiday let company register under 55209 or a property code in division 68?
If you offer short-stay furnished accommodation to guests, 55209 is right. It covers holiday cottages, serviced apartments and similar. Letting property to tenants on standard residential tenancies is 68209 instead. A company doing both can register both codes. Companies House permits up to four and never vets the selection.
Which code fits a guest house or B&B?
Use 55100, hotels and similar accommodation. It covers hotels of every size, plus guest houses and bed and breakfasts. There is no separate code for small operators. A two-room B&B and a city hotel sit side by side. Choose the code at incorporation, or amend it on a later confirmation statement. There is no approval step.
