NAICS (North American Industry Classification System)

NAICS (North American Industry Classification System) codes are the identifying numbers used by the federal government to identify and classify companies by industry. When you fill out a business tax return, the Schedule C form requests your company’s NAICS code, and when you apply for small business loans, credit accounts, and other services, you may be asked to provide your NAICS code as well.
