# Business category list

Copied from the **Business category** dropdown in Business Hub on 12 Nov 2026 **[P]**. Pick exactly one, spelled as below. The list may change; if the dropdown on screen lacks a value, use the closest one on screen.

Contents: How to choose, Common picks for website businesses, Full list.

## How to choose

1. Decide what the business is (its own kind), not who it sells to.
2. Search this file for 2 or 3 words from the business model (`software`, `agency`, `store`, `consult`, `school`).
3. Prefer the narrower category if it is accurate. Fall back to the broader one.
4. Offer the user the best pick plus two alternatives, each with one line of reasoning. Wait for the answer.
