Step 2: Choosing your business activity
Certainly! Here's a guide on how to choose the right CAEN code (NACE code) for your company using markdown:
The CAEN Code (or NACE Code) is a statistical classification of economic activities in the European Community. It's crucial to choose the correct CAEN code for your business as it impacts various aspects such as reporting, taxation, and other regulatory matters. Here are the steps to guide you in making the right choice:
Step 2.1: Understand Your Business Activities
Before diving into the list of CAEN codes, have a clear understanding of your company's primary and secondary business activities. Knowing these will help you narrow down the appropriate categories.

Step 2.3: Start with Broad Categories
The CAEN codes are organized in a hierarchical manner, with broad categories that further branch out into specific activities. Start by identifying the broader category that best represents your company's domain, and then explore the more specific subcategories.
Step 2.4: Consider Secondary Activities
While your company might primarily be involved in one activity, there could be secondary activities that also need representation. Ensure you list all relevant NACE codes that correspond to these secondary activities.
Step 2.5: Make sure it's not a restricted activity
Some activities require additional permits, or a special form of registration, in order for you to be able to use the CAEN code in opening a firm.
Such activities include, but are not limited to:
- Being a lawyer or providing legal services.
(Must be a lawyer or have the special authorizations needed) - Providing expert accounting services to Romanian firms.
(Must be a expert accountant and authorized by CECCAR) - Providing certifications and architectural design.
