Is 485999 the right code for a shuttle service?

Yes, if you run shuttle or vanpool service that is not taxi, limousine, school bus or scheduled transit. Airport and hotel shuttles under contract are the most common examples. Rideshare moved to 485310 in NAICS 2022. The closest alternatives are 485310 (taxi and ridesharing services) and 485320 (limousine service). Use whichever matches your largest revenue stream, and keep it consistent across tax filings, SBA forms and lender applications.

What is the SBA size standard for 485999?

The SBA size standard for 485999 is $19M in average annual receipts. SBA averages total gross receipts over the last five completed fiscal years and adds in any affiliates under common control. A shuttle service at or below that figure counts as small for SBA 7(a) and 504 loans and for federal small business contracts.

What financing do shuttle companies use?

Vans and cutaway buses are financed with vehicle loans and leases, often matched to contract length. A receivables line helps when airports, hotels or universities pay on terms.
