Industry Names
Consider the type of business your company engages in and research the industry as a whole.
NAICS codes can help. These codes classify businesses by primary activity and are used by federal agencies for statistical purposes. Though you will see SIC (Standard Industrial Classification) codes in use, the NAICS codes replaced SIC codes in 1997.
- Use the NAICS search box to find business and industry classification information.
