Setting Up NAICS Groups

North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) groups are subsets of NAICS codes.

The NAICS group associated with a business license type determines which NAICS codes are available to select when applying for a business license. You add, modify, and delete NAICS groups on the NAICS Group page.
