From tech pioneers to the shops and cafes on your local high street, our new industries classification system covers 4.6m companies across the UK to help you discover and understand opportunities in every corner of the economy.
🔍 Search over industries

Anyone that has tried to use Companies House SIC codes to find companies that interest them will be painfully aware of its limitations, particularly when going beyond traditional sectors like agriculture, mining and manufacturing. That’s why, over a decade ago, we built a sector classification aimed to better cover emerging industries that were the focus of new investments, grants, innovation and growth as our dataset focused on this “high growth ecosystem”.

Our sectors have been a customer favourite since then but as we have expanded our dataset beyond the thousands of companies we class as “high growth” to all companies in the UK, we wanted to bridge the gap and create a modern industrial classification system that works for understanding the whole economy.

More descriptive

• We have rebuilt our classification from the ground up to better describe the domain a company operates in whatever they do, from Accountancies to Space Infrastructure to Weddings, and everything in between.
• Covering 225 industries in total across 14 major groups, we cover industries in more depth than our previous sector matrix.
• Companies can have multiple industries, allowing you to compose unique combinations to zero in on those most relevant to you. Combining the recruitment and care homes industries reveals over 2,000 active companies operating in this space. 🔍 Open this search

Larger scale

• Covering 4.6m companies, our industries classifier has 70 times the coverage of our previous sectors.
• This accounts for over 75% of economic activity reported at Companies House. Measured by reported turnover and employment of active companies.
• We combine the best of both worlds, blending tens of thousands of decisions from our expert curators enhanced with machine learning, achieving a dataset unique in its scale and accuracy.

Easier to use

• This release comes with a new selector in advanced search with groupings and filters to help you find the industry you are looking for.
• We have also integrated buzzwords into the same search criteria so it’s easy to include both in a single query.

Expanding buzzwords

Speaking of buzzwords, we have also taken this opportunity to expand them to over 50,000 companies (4x our existing coverage) and we have added 12 new buzzwords to help discover emerging trends such as artificial meat and biometrics and cross industry themes like ethical shopping.

You will find this new industry in all the familiar places in the platform across search, company pages, exports, charts and is coming soon to our API and integrations.

As you may have noticed, we have a lot of data on the platform. And to be honest, this can sometimes make it hard to find interesting companies or even know if an opportunity is right in front of your nose without digging into the details or running complex searches.

Our new dataset, Signals, simplifies our complex knowledge graph of events, funding, classifications, business activity, patents, regulatory findings and lots more to something easy to understand; speeding up your discovery and understanding of companies interesting to you.

To kick off, we are introducing Growth, Innovation and ESG signals across hundreds of thousands of companies, but watch this space for even more coming soon 👀

You can find signals at the top of the company page and in advanced search.

You can read the FAQs for a full breakdown of the signals and how we create them.

Growth

For long-time fans, these signals will look familiar and cover most of our existing tracking triggers. Many of you care most about the high-growth ecosystem, and these will continue to be a great way of zeroing in on these companies.

Search for Growth

Innovation

Finding companies focused on innovation is now also much easier. Here, we cover those that have received significant R&D Grants, Academic Spinouts and those that have been granted a patent.

Search for Innovation

NB: Those with access to our Patents add-on can dig into patent details and create more complex patent searches. Speak to your Account Manager to find out more.

Environmental, Social & Governance

Enhancing our ESG coverage has been requested by many of you, but we are also conscious it has no set definition or measurements. We are starting out by offering nine signals across ESG, uncovering a range of topics from business activity relating to environmental impact, to how regulatory filings can provide indications on diversity and equality. We’ll also highlight when ESG-focused funders, high-growth lists and accelerators support companies.

Search for ESG

This is just the beginning of how we plan to help you unlock potential in the green economy, and your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve what we measure and how it’s represented to give the fairest view of the UK economy.

If you have any feedback or ideas for other interesting signals, please let me know.
