SIC 64–66
Banks and building societies, insurers, insurance brokers, financial advisers and mortgage brokers, fund managers and credit firms: for software vendors, compliance and training providers who want to reach regulated firms by post or complete their CRM.
Our UK dataset holds 2 676 396 records (as at 4 listopada 2026); they are not yet assigned to industries. The quote states the size available for this industry.
Export of the whole industry: £229 (full price). Selections by nation, postcode area or your own filters are quoted on request.
Official statistics: 59 005 businesses in the UK according to ONS, UK business: activity, size and location 2026 (enterprises in March 2026, published 24 September 2026). Section K financial and insurance activities: divisions 64 financial services (24,740), 65 insurance and pensions (5,365) and 66 activities auxiliary to financial services and insurance, including brokers (28,900). This is the size of the market, not the size of our dataset.
The industry is section K of UK SIC 2007 (divisions 64 to 66). Division 66 has the most businesses: the ONS index puts insurance brokers in 66.22 and financial advisers and mortgage brokers in 66.19.
Holding companies (64.20) own other companies rather than trading; most buyers leave them out. Banks and insurers are few but large: the export shows the company, not every branch.

In the UK nearly all financial service activities must be authorised or registered by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA); some firms are authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA).
These 15 columns are included.
If you sell to intermediaries, start with 66.22 for insurance brokers and 66.19 for advisers and mortgage brokers. Banks, building societies and insurers are a short list of large organisations; there a list mainly helps to complete your CRM.
The SIC code is chosen by the company, so a broker can turn up in 66.22, 66.19 or 66.29. Ask for neighbouring codes when completeness matters more than precision.
Firms trading as a Ltd, PLC or LLP are corporate subscribers under PECR reg. 2: marketing emails need no prior consent if you identify yourself and give an opt-out address. Sole-trader advisers count as individuals and need consent or a soft opt-in (reg. 22(3)). Screen numbers against the TPS and Corporate TPS before calling.

Questions
Where a record carries a UK SIC code (from the Companies House match, which is in progress), yes: 66.22. Otherwise we select by business category and name on request; the quote states how precise the selection is. The code does not separate brokers from agents, and because firms choose it themselves, some brokers sit in 66.19 or 66.29; we can add those codes.
No. FCA status is not a column; check a firm on the Financial Services Register.
Companies and LLPs, yes, without prior consent, if you identify yourself and offer an opt-out. Sole traders need consent or a soft opt-in, and an address such as jane.smith@broker.co.uk is personal data under UK GDPR. Details: PECR rules for B2B email and calls.
