Aye, my company name states what I do, but does not mention or imply IT.
I got a call from those nice people at the revenue about three years ago, doing a 'survey'. The chap asked what I did. I told him, from a non-IT point of view. After 20 seconds, during which time I could hear muffled consultation, the chap came back on and said "Thanks, but that's not the type of business we are surveying. Goodbye."
To be honest, a lot of my contracts have not been IT-oriented, except for the use of a computer to write things and communicate.

“Out of a ‘High Window Ltd’ and ‘Joe Bloggs Computer Services Ltd’ it’s obvious which one a typical HMRC inspector, often with a suspicion and misunderstanding of freelancing, would look into.”
