Business And Domestic Software Development

Recently Formed Companies Breakdown By Months

Details for Business And Domestic Software Development

The wider SIC framework has been part of UK business statistics since the 1940s, and Companies House previously used the older 4-digit SIC 2003 codes before moving during 2008–2009 to the present 5-digit SIC 2007 structure, which is aligned with European NACE Rev. 2 standards. This classification covers companies whose practical work is best described by the official label business and domestic software development.

In plain English, it is likely to include contractors, trades, builders, installers, maintenance firms, developers and specialist construction service providers, with day-to-day activity often involving site work, project delivery, materials, labour, repairs, installations and compliance with building requirements. As of June 2026, 62012 ranks 13th out of 731 five-digit SIC codes, with 123,709 UK companies registered under it, making it a very widely selected company activity code. Companies are not limited to a single activity description: Companies House allows up to four SIC codes, so mixed businesses can show this work alongside complementary trading, advisory, production or support activities.

The short official label is deliberately compact, so the real-world businesses behind it may describe themselves using broader phrases such as business and domestic software development services, specialist business and domestic software development providers, operators in related supply chains, or companies supporting customers who need this form of commercial activity. The code therefore works best as a structured indicator of economic activity rather than a complete profile of the company, because many organisations evolve, add services or reorganise after incorporation. Taken together with location, age, filing history and other SIC selections, this code can help build a more rounded view of the market in which the company appears to operate.

In practical terms, the code helps separate this kind of work from neighbouring sectors that may look similar in search results but involve different trading models, assets, customers or regulatory expectations. It is also useful for analysts, lenders, marketers and public bodies because it gives a consistent way to group companies by declared activity, even though the description is not a licence, approval or guarantee of what a company actually does day to day.
