Find importer prospects by Business or Product SIC code
Enter one or more comma-separated UK SIC codes for the business or product sector and run the importer-prospect search. The guide follows the Help Centre standard: exact route, prerequisites, ordered steps, verification and operational boundaries.
What you’ll accomplish
Enter one or more comma-separated UK SIC codes for the business or product sector and run the importer-prospect search. Importer mode uses the existing Companies House search, saved-result and enrichment workflow; it changes the search context, not the evidential status of the company.
How the workflow fits together
Use the Importers by SIC Code tab to identify SIC-matched candidate importer prospects while preserving the Companies House evidence and verification boundary. Use the saved search, company-result, enrichment and CRM-link state to decide the next supported action. Where enrichment, people refresh, Lead import, CSV export or Letter Manager evidence applies, verify that output separately.
Follow these steps
- Go to Fresh UK Leads → Importers by SIC Code.
- Confirm the active tenant, intended saved search or company result and your permission before entering or changing data.
- Complete the supported workflow: Enter one or more comma-separated UK SIC codes for the business or product sector and run the importer-prospect search.
- Review the displayed filters, validation and evidence boundary before continuing.
- Save, submit or run the action once and wait for the module response.
- Reopen the relevant saved search, company result or linked CRM record and verify the final stored state and evidence.
Fields and decisions to review
Record, audit and evidence checks
Reopen the relevant saved search or company result and confirm its search reference, search mode, SIC codes, filters, company identifiers and available evidence. If the candidate is enriched, imported or linked to Letter Manager, verify that downstream record separately rather than relying only on a success alert.
How to confirm it worked
Return to the saved importer search or result set and verify that the stored search mode, SIC codes, filters and candidate rows match the intended action. If you enrich or import a candidate, confirm the resulting evidence or CRM record separately.
Technical basis for this guidance
This guide was checked against views/index.php; controllers/Companies_house_leads.php; install.php; companies_house_leads.php. It documents only behaviour exposed or enforced by the supplied module; internal secrets, raw signature payloads and unsupported future workflow assumptions are intentionally excluded.
Controls, checks and common mistakes
- Companies House does not publish a standalone verified importer flag in this workflow.
- A matching SIC code indicates business-sector relevance, not verified importing activity.
- Refresh and review public/internet evidence before outreach, import or letter activity.
