A Business Category is a classification system used by Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) to define the primary purpose of their business. It defines the general industry that a company works in and is used to distinguish between companies performing similar activities but operating in different sectors. Typically, a LLC will list one or more Business Categories based on the nature of their operations. These categories are determined by the LLC’s primary activities and can range from services to manufacturing to retail. For example, a web design firm may list “Web Design” as its primary Business Category and an IT consulting firm may list “Information Technology Services” as its primary Business Category. Establishing a clear set of Business Categories is essential for any successful LLC, as it allows them to accurately identify the type of business they do and better target potential customers and partners.
