1050 live UK companies are registered under SIC 62012, business and domestic software development. These figures are counted from those records and move every time the register does.
Live software development companies by the year they were incorporated. The busiest surviving cohort here is 2026, with 425 still trading.
Counts only companies still active today, so earlier years read low: the ones that closed are not here. Read it as survivors per cohort, not formations per year.
