The business services (also called “business process outsourcing”) industry provides routine support for the day-to-day operations of companies that don't want to do those jobs themselves. The support may be administrative or managerial. Depending upon the types of job, they may be located on- or off-site. For instance, mail room services may be on-site at the company needing the service while call centers may be at the business service company.

The marketing sales industry includes merchandising service organizations, event marketing and demonstrations. These are the companies that help other companies sell their products.
