Selling to new Liverpool companies

A company in its first months is still choosing who it works with. Reaching it then, with a short email that names what it has just started, is often the easiest time to win them as a client.

  • Marketing agenciesA new company needs a website, a logo and its first customers, usually before it has picked anyone to help.
  • AccountantsEvery new company owes a first set of accounts and a confirmation statement, and many have no accountant yet.
  • IT and software firmsEmail, devices and security get set up in the first months, and the choices made then tend to stick.
  • Insurance brokersEmployers' liability, professional indemnity and van cover are bought early, often in a hurry.
  • RecruitersThe first hires come quickly once a new company wins work.

Leadistry reads the new Liverpool registrations every morning, keeps the ones with a working website and a real email, and writes the first email for you to approve. Your first 25 leads are free, as a one-off trial.

The most registered SIC codes in Liverpool

Counting active companies whose registered office is a Liverpool post town, these are the codes that come up most often on the August 2026 Companies House snapshot. Take-away food shops and mobile food stands leads with 963 companies. It is worth reading against the sectors below: the authored view is what Liverpool is known for, this is what its companies actually filed.

  1. 56103Take-away food shops and mobile food stands963
  2. 96020Hairdressing and other beauty treatment878

  8. 96040Physical well-being activities237

Pick a code, then narrow by postcode and date. Every company you pull carries a working website and a real email, and we never charge for the ones we cannot complete.

Why do these counts add up to more than the total?

A company may register up to four SIC codes and these counts include every position, so a business filed under two of them appears twice.

Answers

About Liverpool on Companies House

Is Liverpool a good target for logistics and shipping outreach?

Yes. The Port of Liverpool holds more cargo-handling firms per postcode than any UK area outside the south coast. Filter SIC 52240 or 52290 with the L postcode to find shipping-linked firms.

Where is the Liverpool digital startup cluster?

In the Baltic Triangle (L1 and L8). Filter SIC 62012, the L postcode and age 0–5 years. Liverpool's digital scene is smaller than Manchester's, but it sits in a much tighter area.

Are Wirral and Liverpool grouped together in postcode filtering?

No. Wirral uses the CH postcode (the Chester area), not L. Filter L and CH together if you want both.
