Definition
A separate operating unit engaged in New Zealand in one, or predominately one, kind of economic activity from a single physical location or base.

Statistical Units and the Business Frame
The Business Frame (BF) superseded the Business Directory (BD) in December 1996. The statistical units on the BF are enterprises, kind of activity units (kaus) and geographic units (geos). These replace enterprises, accounting units and activity units, respectively, on the BD. The underlying concepts are unchanged.
