It replaces the Business Category List.<br />Use – It helps enable services to be tailored to the needs of a business, target the areas of legislation and inspection that might take place and quantifies what a council does to serve businesses in the locality. It defines a core set of business categories that are common to most public sector bodies, allowing communication across boundaries by describing the business types unequivocally within a controlled list of terms.<br />It uses unique numeric identifiers for each business irrespective of the language and naming conventions that are used by different people and organisations to identify or describe a business. It is designed to enable the transfer of data electronically. http://doc.esd.org.uk/BusinessCircumstanceList.xml http://doc.esd.org.uk/BusinessCircumstanceList/1.00.xml 1.00 Business Transport Courier services Transport Business services Business services Business Taxis and minicabs Transport Rental Rental Business Air transport Transport Airports Transport Bus / coach transport Transport Cargo handling and storage Transport Distribution Transport Food haulage (non-live) Transport Hackney carriage licensee Transport Hackney carriage operators Transport Haulage -
