What Is a NAICS Code?

A NAICS code is a six-digit number the U.S. government uses to classify what your business does. You'll need one for your tax return, business license, LLC formation, business bank account, and most loan or grant applications. If you're a freelancer, gig worker, or small business owner, you likely don't have one memorized — most people don't.

How to Use This Tool

Type what you do in plain English — "dog walker," "Etsy seller," "truck driver," "freelance writer" — into the search box above. This tool matches everyday business activities to their official 2022 NAICS code, pulled directly from the U.S. Census Bureau's current classification system. No guessing, no wading through government PDFs.

Who Needs This

Gig workers filing Schedule C, freelancers registering an LLC, and small business owners applying for a business license all need an accurate NAICS code. Using the wrong one can cause delays or mismatches on tax filings and applications, so this tool searches the complete, current list rather than a shortened or outdated one.
