I'm stuck on what SIC Code to use to register a new Cloud / SaaS company. Most SIC Codes seem to be literally from a previous century as they don't cover modern stuff like cloud services.
The Software-as-a-Service product we will be offering has elements of the following activities in our business offering:
Custom software development
Software and IT consulting
Cloud hosting and management
Hardware and software support & maintenance
IT and business consulting (e.g. developing custom and proprietary content online)
Backup and disaster recovery (client data)

I've found a few that cover parts of the above activities, but not one that covers all:
62090 - Other information technology service activities
62020 - Information technology consultancy activities
63110 - Data processing, hosting and related activities
63120 - Web portals
58290 - Other software publishing
7371 - Computer Programming Services
7379 - Computer Related Services, Not Elsewhere classified

Any thoughts from anyone with experience in this?

I would plump for 63110 and then never worry about it ever again. No-one else will :)


Ha! Great comment - thanks. Yes I've read in several places that Companies House has never as far as we know 'done' any company for their choice of SIC code, so long as it's roughly in the right business area. But I'm a bit fussy about getting things right, so good to get your feedback.
