What if a business operates in more than one of the six general business classifications?
If a business operates in more than one of the following business classifications: wholesale, retail, manufacturing, service, construction, and architecture/engineering, its combined operation must meet the limitation of the more liberal classifications. However, the employment limit for a retail operation is 25 persons, versus 50 for a wholesale operation and 100 for a manufacturing operation. Accordingly, a business with both retail and wholesale classifications can have up to 50 employees, while a combined manufacturing and wholesale business can have up to 100 employees.
