I'm in the process of starting a Coworking space in CT and I'm
wondering under which NAICS code do most operate under. I paid for a
professional search and was told the business would fall under

531120 Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)

Are there any other codes that are typically used?

John,

A friend of mine who works a lot in Connecticut sent me this message:

First, understand that the reason the city, county and state wants to know the business type as identified by NAICS is to determine how  to charge for annual business licence. Personally, I would look at the  listing of fees that are charged and find the lowest cost activity that you can leagally use.

I beleve that you will find that professional services of some type. A nd probably revenue generated by co-workers will probably involve  computer programming.

If you want to take that route:

541511 Custom Computer Programming Services
This U.S. industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in writing, modifying, testing, and supporting software to meet the needs of a particular customer.

Or if you want to take the retail space sales approach -

Since more is going on than just space rental. Internet connectivity, printer access, projector, LCD displays etc.

This my search path & result

I am of course not licensed to practice law or otherwise qualified render an opinion on this issue.

You could also ask the IRS small business support center.

There is currently no NACIS code for Coworking facilities.
Organizations like The School Factory in Milwaukee, WI (which started
Bucketworks there) are working with government to have one added.

I've been using 54199 All Other Professional, Scientific, and

Best to be vague until we figure it all out!
