Division 01 of the UK SIC 2007 list. It holds 4 codes, listed in full below with the number of active UK companies filed under each.
This division holds Britain's working farms. It covers arable growers, livestock keepers and the contractors who help them. Mixed farming, code 01500, is the most common choice. Family farms pick it when they run crops and animals together. Growers of cereals and oilseed use 01110 instead. Agricultural contractors sit in the support codes 01610 and 01629. That takes in crop spraying, livestock work and shearing. Many firms here are long-established partnerships. They only became limited companies in the last few years.
Accountants with farm clients watch this division. A farm that incorporates has usually just restructured. That brings steady compliance work, from payroll to capital allowances on machinery. Land agents, farm insurers and machinery dealers sell here too. A recent incorporation date is the strongest signal. It often marks a succession or a new diversification project. Farm websites are frequently years out of date. The poor-website filter finds those firms quickly, which suits web designers and rural marketing services. Filing deadlines give accountants a natural moment to get in touch.
Pick the code that matches most of your turnover. Choose 01500 mixed farming if you run arable and livestock together and neither one leads. A grower who focuses on cereals fits 01110 better. Companies House does not check what you pick. You can change it on your next confirmation statement if the business shifts.
Yes. A company can hold up to four SIC codes at once. They can come from completely different divisions. Many contractors add a transport or machinery rental code next to 01610 or 01629. That shows their second income stream. You declare codes at incorporation, or change them on the annual confirmation statement (form CS01). No approval step is involved.
