the goods and services you provide
the activities carried out in your workplace
what you consider to be the main activity and why
a list of raw materials, types of equipment, and processes used
a breakdown of the sales, cost of goods produced, and the cost of labour
whether or not you own the goods you provide
whether or not you provide the goods or services internally
whether or not you provide the goods or services to another business which is associated to your business
You may be able to split your classification

You can't split your workplace if your main business activity includes:
clerical services
management services
administrative services
sales and marketing services
warehousing services associated with manufacturing, wholesaling or retailing
