Importer prospects by SIC code · How-to guide

Understand the Companies House importer-candidate limitation

Understand that Companies House does not provide a standalone verified importer flag, so Importers by SIC Code returns sector-matched candidate companies for review rather than verified importers. The guide follows the Help Centre standard: exact route, prerequisites, ordered steps, verification and operational boundaries.

Before you startRequired access: Administrator access. Work on the correct tenant and record. Companies House and internet evidence must be reviewed before outreach.

What you’ll accomplish

Understand that Companies House does not provide a standalone verified importer flag, so Importers by SIC Code returns sector-matched candidate companies for review rather than verified importers. 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

  1. Go to Fresh UK Leads → Importers by SIC Code and open the relevant current search, result or configuration view.
  2. Review the displayed state and compare it with the explanation in this guide.
  3. Compare the live values with the workflow described in this guide: Understand that Companies House does not provide a standalone verified importer flag, so Importers by SIC Code returns sector-matched candidate companies for review rather than verified importers.
  4. Follow the saved search, company result, enrichment evidence or linked CRM record rather than inferring that a downstream action happened.
  5. Use the related guides below for the operational action that changes the search, evidence or CRM record.

Fields and decisions to review

Search modeImporter searches are stored separately as search_mode=importers while reusing the same search engine.
SIC codesBusiness/Product SIC codes are required in importer mode and accept comma-separated UK SIC values.
Shared filtersIncorporation date, location, status, start index and page size work as in Fresh Companies.
Evidence boundaryA SIC match is a candidate importer prospect, not proof that the company imports goods.

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.
Data and workflow safetyA SIC-matched candidate must not be represented as a verified importer. Confirm current public and internet evidence before operational use.
