Is 325998 the right code for a miscellaneous chemical product manufacturer?

Yes, if you make a chemical product that does not fit a more specific code, such as fireworks, de icers, water treatment compounds or antifreeze. Check first whether cleaners (325612), explosives (325920) or basic organic chemicals (325199) describe you more precisely, since lenders prefer the most specific code.

What is the SBA size standard for 325998?

Under 13 CFR 121.201, a business classified under NAICS 325998 is small if it averages no more than 650 employees, counting affiliates, over the prior 24 months. SBA uses that number for loan eligibility and federal agencies use it for small business set asides. A firm above it can still qualify for SBA 7(a) and 504 loans under the alternative standard of $15 million tangible net worth and $5 million average net income.

How do seasonal chemical makers manage cash flow?

Makers of de icers, fireworks and similar seasonal products build inventory months before they get paid, so a revolving line of credit or inventory loan sized to the peak is the core tool. Some add invoice factoring during the selling season. Lenders want to see past season sales and preorders to size the line.
