What This Category Covers

​

The Professional Services category is for businesses and professionals that provide expert knowledge, strategic support, administrative services, or specialized consulting to individuals, businesses, nonprofits, or organizations.

This category is designed for service-based professionals whose primary role is to advise, manage, support, strategize, or execute professional-level services, rather than provide health care, sell products, or operate as community programs.

 

If your business provides expertise instead of physical care or products, this is your category.
