When a different code fits better
These are the codes most often confused with the main answer. Pick by the activity that earns most of your revenue.
| Code | Title | Use it if |
|---|---|---|
| NAICS 531130 | Lessors of Miniwarehouses and Self-Storage Units | you mainly rent out self-storage units |
| NAICS 493110 | General Warehousing and Storage | you mainly run a general warehouse for business goods |
| SIC 68209 | Other letting and operating of own or leased real estate | you mainly run self-storage facilities |
Good to know
Self-storage is classed as renting out property in both countries, not as moving.
You can list more than one code. Companies House accepts up to four SIC codes, and SAM.gov lets you add several NAICS codes, with one marked as primary.
What the code affects
- SBA programs and federal contracts: your NAICS code sets the size limit you must stay under to count as small. Check your size.
- SAM.gov registration: contracting officers search by NAICS, so list every code you can deliver work under.
- Companies House: your SIC code appears on the public register and in your confirmation statement.
