Division 95 of the UK SIC 2007 list. It holds 1 code, listed in full below with the number of active UK companies filed under each.
Division 95 shows up on the register almost entirely through one code: 95110, repair of computers and peripheral equipment. The population is mixed. It holds independent repair shops, on-site IT support firms serving small businesses, phone and laptop repair specialists, and refurbishment operations. Many began as sole traders and incorporated once business customers wanted proper invoices. Plenty pair the repair code with an IT services code from division 62. In practice the line between fixing machines and supporting them is thin.
Parts and component distributors sell into this trade, along with refurbished stock wholesalers, device insurance schemes and point-of-sale software vendors. Managed service providers scan it for acquisition targets and for subcontract partners with a local foothold. A new incorporation usually means a technician has formalised an existing customer base. That is good timing for accountancy, card payment and business insurance offers. Repair shops with barely-there websites often still do well on walk-in trade. So pair the poor-website filter with evidence of premises before you decide a company is inactive rather than just offline.
It depends where the weight of the work sits. Hardware repair and refurbishment fits 95110. Ongoing support, consultancy and managed services fit division 62 codes such as 62090 or 62020. Many firms do both and register a code from each. That is allowed, since a company may declare up to 4 SIC codes. You choose them freely and update them on any confirmation statement (CS01).
Yes. A shop that repairs devices and sells refurbished stock can list 95110 next to a division 47 retail code. Companies House will record both without question. Codes carry no approval process and no fee of their own. You set them at incorporation and adjust them whenever you file a confirmation statement. An accurate pair helps suppliers and directories categorise the business properly.
