What is a NAICS code?

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is the standard used by federal agencies to classify businesses by industry. Each business is assigned a code — typically 2 to 6 digits — based on its primary activity. The SBA uses NAICS codes to determine size standards, which in turn affect eligibility for SBA 7(a) and other loan programs.

Why your NAICS code matters for SBA lending

Different NAICS codes have different SBA size standards (measured by annual revenue or employee count). More importantly for borrowers, lenders have distinct track records by industry. A lender that approves hundreds of restaurant loans per year may have no experience funding software companies. Knowing your NAICS code lets you search for lenders with a proven track record in your specific industry.

Common NAICS codes for SBA borrowers

The most active NAICS codes in SBA 7(a) lending include 722 (Food Services and Drinking Places), 621 (Ambulatory Health Care), 236 (Construction of Buildings), 541 (Professional and Technical Services), and 811 (Repair and Maintenance). Use the finder above to search for your specific industry.
