Business codes are six-digit numbers that apply to a wide range of occupations, each occupational area having its own specific code.

When you're in the interview section under the Business tab and you're entering the basic information about your business, you'll come to the screen that says Let's Look Up Your Business Code.  Immediately to the right of the input box is a button that says Lookup Business Codes.  Click on that and a search window will open, allowing you to enter key words to display the applicable codes.

In addition, the NAICS web site also has a search link and a master list you can click on:  https://www.naics.com/search/.

If no button is appearing, use the NAICS link in the above post.  The results will be the same.
