Which Companies are Included?

Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes can be inaccurate. Telephone verification provides a more accurate process for classification into each sector. Our reports include all the companies we have identified in each UK industry sector.

However if you wish to include other companies which our researchers have not chosen to include in the sector report, you can. You get instant online access to all UK businesses in all industry sectors - so if you wish to include any other company in the analysis of your sector, you can. All the industry sector analysis in our report will also instantly update itself to take account of any new companies as you add them.

The whole service provides the most detailed and flexible competitor analysis of any UK sector.
