- upper management in notable companies/organisations
- business owners
- those prominent in their fields (chefs, attorneys, etc.)

Businesses included in Pensapedia should be limited to those with an actual, verifiable storefront, or those with other significance or tenure. For example, an article about a non-notable person's start-up dog grooming business would not meet these standards.
