Life Insurance

Details for Life Insurance

SIC code 65110 is used for businesses carrying out activity in the field of life insurance. In plain English, it is likely to include financial service businesses, investment vehicles, holding structures, insurance intermediaries and administrative finance operators, with day-to-day activity often involving capital, policies, portfolios, governance, risk, reporting and regulated or support functions. As of June 2026, 65110 ranks 310th out of 731 five-digit SIC codes, with 2,762 UK companies registered under it, making it a moderately used SIC code with a defined commercial footprint.

This sits within a classification system that has been used in the UK since the 1940s; Companies House filings moved from 4-digit SIC 2003 codes to the current 5-digit SIC 2007 scheme in 2008–2009, bringing the UK register into line with NACE Rev. 2. Where this is only part of a wider business model, the ability to file up to four SIC codes lets UK companies describe several genuine activities rather than forcing everything into one broad category.

The short official label is deliberately compact, so the real-world businesses behind it may describe themselves using broader phrases such as life insurance services, specialist life insurance providers, operators in related supply chains, or companies supporting customers who need this form of commercial activity. It is also useful for analysts, lenders, marketers and public bodies because it gives a consistent way to group companies by declared activity, even though the description is not a licence, approval or guarantee of what a company actually does day to day. A company using this code might be newly incorporated, dormant, small and owner-managed, or part of a larger group, so the SIC entry should normally be read alongside accounts, confirmation statements, websites and other commercial signals.

The classification is especially valuable when comparing suppliers, prospecting for customers, segmenting a database, reviewing competition or checking how a company presents its principal line of business on the public record. For search and data work, the wording should be understood broadly: companies may use different everyday terms for the same activity, including trade names, sector jargon, abbreviated service descriptions and customer-facing language.
