Supplier finder: find UK companies by what they do

Describe the supplier you need in plain English. We match your brief to official SIC activity codes, then suggest active UK registered companies — ordered by how well their registered facts fit, with a link to the official register entry for each one. Free to use, no sign-up.

Describe the work in a sentence or two. We match the description to official Companies House activity codes, then suggest real companies recorded under them, ordered by how their registered facts fit your brief. We never invent a company, a review or a rating.

How the ordering works

1. Your description is matched to up to three official SIC codes.
2. The register is searched for active companies, filtered by company type if you chose one.
3. Results are ordered using registered facts only: whether the matching activity is the first code recorded, how few activities are recorded, whether the registered office sits in the area you named, how long the company has been registered, and the legal form you asked for.
4. Every result links to its full profile and the official record.

What this cannot tell you

The ordering reflects what the register records, not quality, price, capacity or solvency. A SIC code is a classification the company recorded, not proof that it does that work today. Always carry out your own checks before appointing a supplier.
