Which SIC codes can be used by IT consultants?

Standard Industrial Classification codes — SIC codes for short — are given to all businesses. These 4 digit codes are then used by government agencies, marketing companies, banks, academics and entrepreneurs, to understand and analyze the type of work a business is involved in.

IT consulting businesses fall into the major group 73 — all SIC codes for this industry will start with these numbers. You can then find out more about the business type by looking at the final digits. SIC code 7371 is used by Computer Programming Services, while 7379 is used by Computer Related Services, not elsewhere classified.

The types of businesses using SIC code 7371 might include software developers, designers or analysts. 7379 is more likely to be used by computer consultants, database developers, data processing consultants.
