Helpful Tips:

  • You can add multiple business activities.
  • Try different descriptions, different combinations of words, or be more general.
  • Don't worry if you can't find an exact match, find one that's close or more general. You can always change it later.
  • If you continue to not get results, type a custom activity and click the message box to add it.
