Analysis
NAICS 56141 is the 2022 NAICS industry for document preparation services, part of 5614 (Business Support Services).
It has only one more detailed code, 561410, which covers exactly the same activities; the definition, index entries and statistics are on that page.
County Business Patterns counts 4,375 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 36,170 people at an average annual payroll of $37,211 per employee (7th percentile of national industries). 73% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which marks it as a small-business industry.
Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments grew 15% and employment fell 30%. The 2018 count used NAICS 2017, so part of a large move can come from codes being redefined rather than from businesses opening or closing.
By establishments it ranks 3rd of the 6 codes at this level within Business Support Services, with 15% of them.
