NAICS - Primary Business Activity

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the primary business activity of an establishment is determined by factors such as relative share of production costs and/or capital investment. In practice, other variables like revenue, value of shipments, or employment are used as proxies. Typically, the U.S. Census Bureau uses revenue or value of shipments to determine the primary business activity of an establishment.

What is a Primary NAICS Code?

Each and every company will have a primary NAICS Code, which indicates its primary line of business. The primary NAICS Code is determined by the code definition that generated the highest revenue for the company at a specific location in the past year. This code is crucial for accurately identifying and categorizing your business.
