Is 332813 the right code for a plating or anodizing shop?

Yes, if you plate, anodize, polish or chemically finish metal for others. Powder coating and hot dip galvanizing belong in 332812, and heat treating in 332811. Manufacturers with in house plating keep the code for their main product, not 332813. When your work spans two codes, choose the one tied to your largest revenue line and use it consistently on tax and loan forms.

What is the SBA size standard for 332813?

Under 13 CFR 121.201, a business classified under NAICS 332813 is small if it averages no more than 500 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.

What do lenders look at for plating shops?

Lenders review environmental permits, wastewater treatment systems and compliance history first, since remediation risk can be significant. They then look at customer diversity and equipment condition. Financing is typically equipment loans for tanks and rectifiers plus a receivables line, and SBA 7(a) loans for acquisitions.
