How Do I Find A Company's NAICS Code

Updated: 2026 | Reviewed By: SICCODE.com Industry Classification Review Team

Every active business location in the United States is assigned a NAICS code based on its primary business activity. SICCODE.com compiles, organizes, and provides NAICS classification information for up to 15 million U.S. business locations.

Because NAICS is establishment-based, the same company can have different NAICS codes for its headquarters, retail stores, distribution sites, or manufacturing locations.

Quick answer: To find a company’s NAICS code, search for the specific business location, not just the company name. The correct code depends on the activity performed at that exact location.

How to Find a Company’s NAICS Code

Use the search function on SICCODE.com to look up the business and review the classification tied to that specific location. This works best when you search the exact business name and location details whenever possible.

  • Search the company name as it appears publicly
  • Check the correct city, state, or branch location
  • Confirm the business activity being performed at that site

Why Location Matters

NAICS codes are location-specific. A corporate headquarters and a storefront can belong to the same company but still carry different NAICS codes because they perform different business functions.

That is one of the most common mistakes people make when trying to identify a company’s code. They search the brand name but do not verify which location they are actually reviewing.

Example: Apple Headquarters vs. Apple Store

This example shows how one company can have different NAICS codes depending on the establishment being reviewed.

Tips for More Accurate Searches

  • Look for the exact operating location you want to classify
  • Use address or city details when multiple locations share the same name
  • Review the business description to confirm the location’s primary activity
  • Do not assume the headquarters code applies to every branch or store
