NAICS Code Lookup
What is NAICS? The North American Industry Classification System is a code that defines your business type for government agencies, banks, and lenders. This 6-digit code determines credit limits, tax classifications, and investor evaluations.
Important: If you don't choose your own NAICS code, institutions will assign one for you - and it might not match what you put on taxes or banking forms!
