NIC 031101 should be selected only when the official title matches the main revenue-generating activity. If the business also trades, transports, processes, installs or supports the same product or service, compare nearby NIC pages before filing. This reduces the risk of choosing a code that describes the product being handled rather than the activity your enterprise actually performs.
