What changed

Before — SSIC 2020
64202
Holding companies of firms engaged in non-financial and insurance activities

This sub-class includes holding companies of firms engaged in non-financial and/or insurance activities (e.g., real estate, construction, production, distribution) that hold the assets (owning controlling-levels of equity) of a group of subsidiary corporations and whose principal activity is owning the group. The holding companies in this sub-class generally do not administer or manage the other businesses in which the equity is held and have little or no employment and revenue from the sale of goods and services. This sub-class also includes the activities of financing conduits where units are created by a non-financial group to raise or borrow funds (often on the open market) and to remit those funds to their parent or another entity within the group.

After — SSIC 2025
70201
Management consultancy services

This sub-class includes the provision of advice and/or guidance to businesses, the public service and/or other organisations (excluding healthcare organisations and hotels) on a range of management and operational issues, such as: - strategic and organisational planning - production scheduling and/or control planning - management information - practices and planning

Frequently asked questions

Why was my SSIC code automatically changed from 64202 to 70201?
Singapore's national industrial classification was updated from SSIC 2020 to SSIC 2025, effective 9 May 2026. ACRA's BizFile+ system automatically mapped every existing entity to its closest SSIC 2025 equivalent using the official SingStat correspondence table. The code SSIC 64202 (Holding companies of firms engaged in non-financial and insurance activities) was reclassified to SSIC 70201 (Management consultancy services) under that mapping.
Do I need to take any action?
Usually no. If your business activity is unchanged, the new code accurately reflects it under SSIC 2025 and no manual update is needed. You should only update if (a) the auto-mapped code doesn't match what you actually do, (b) your activity has changed independently, or (c) you claim a sector-specific licence or grant tied to the old code.
How many Singapore companies were affected by this specific recode?
Based on the change log we've maintained since the 9 May 2026 cutover, 72 companies have been reclassified from SSIC 64202 to SSIC 70201. Of those, 63 had it as their primary SSIC code and 9 as a secondary code.
What's the difference between SSIC 64202 and SSIC 70201?
SSIC 64202 was titled "Holding companies of firms engaged in non-financial and insurance activities". Under SSIC 2025, the equivalent activity sits at SSIC 70201 ("Management consultancy services"). The two cover the same underlying activity per SingStat's official correspondence table; the SSIC 2025 title and number reflect the updated classification.
