Professional services companies in Colombia
ISIC section M: Professional, scientific and technical activities. 192,212 records from the RUES + Supersociedades (datos.gov.co), 109,143 active, data as of 2026-10-02.
There are 192,212 companies in ISIC section M (professional, scientific and technical activities) in Colombia, 109,143 active. The section is 10.6% of the 1,816,257 Colombian records we hold from the RUES + Supersociedades (datos.gov.co), extracted 2026-10-02. The largest divisions are 70 (activities of head offices; management consultancy activities, 69,061) and 69 (legal and accounting activities, 39,091); 5 further divisions complete it. By department, Bogotá D.C. leads with 91,182 (47% of the section), followed by Antioquia (24,586) and Valle del Cauca (14,704).
Consultancies, law and accounting firms, engineering offices, agencies and design studios. Division 70 also holds 'activities of head offices', where many group holding companies register, so it overstates consultancies. Division 69 is a channel in itself: accountants file for most small companies in Brazil and Colombia. Professional-services software, payroll, legal-tech and B2B marketing vendors buy this section. In Colombia, rows carry the ISIC division (Colombian CIIU classes are national, so there is no ISIC class); size is known for 2%; 1.2% have a corporate e-mail domain (Supersociedades filers and two chambers); 13,753 were registered in the 12 months before the extraction. Department is the chamber's seat for most Colombian rows, and status comes from renewal and liquidation signals rather than a single flag.
