Division 62: Computer programming, consultancy and related activities
This is the UK register's technology heartland. IT consultancy under 62020 is the single most common choice, heavily used by contractors and consultancies alike, with software development on 62012 and the broad 62090, other IT service activities, close behind. Games developers have a dedicated code at 62011, and 62030 covers computer facilities management. Much of the division consists of one-person limited companies through which developers, architects and consultants contract, so the same codes describe both a global consultancy and an individual working through a personal service company, which is worth remembering when segmenting.
Contractor-heavy sectors reward specialists, and division 62 has plenty: accountants built around IR35 and personal service company compliance, professional indemnity insurers, and recruiters placing contract and permanent engineers all prospect these codes daily. SaaS vendors selling developer tooling, cloud services and productivity software treat the division as their core addressable market. New incorporations frequently mark a first contract starting within weeks, the moment insurance and accounting get bought, while growth between filed accounts distinguishes scaling agencies from steady-state contractors and flags candidates for hiring, office space and larger software deals.

About SIC 62020
How do I tell SIC 62020 firms apart from 62012?
62020 is services-led (consulting, integration, implementation), 62012 is product-led (build software for clients or as a product). Many companies file both. The website's 'what we do' page is the cleanest signal.
