Chapter 15: Icons Business
1. What is the “Icons Business” Page?
It’s a focused reference list of icons related to business, office work, professional life, meetings, documents, and corporate stuff.
These icons are great for:
- Company websites (“About Us”, services, team pages)
- Resume / CV sections
- Dashboard apps (CRM, project management)
- Marketing / sales pages
- Contact forms or business cards
- Finance tools, reports, charts
- Startup landing pages or B2B apps
In Font Awesome 5 free, the Business category includes useful everyday professional icons (mostly solid style fas, some regular far). Newer versions (FA6/7) added many more (like badge, briefcase-clock, chart-network, etc.), but FA5 free sticks to solid basics that power millions of business sites even today.

4. Teacher Tips for Business Icons
- Colors — Professional blues (#007bff), greens (#28a745 for success/deals), grays (#6c757d) for neutral.
- Size — Big icons (fa-4x, fa-5x) work great on hero sections or cards.
- Pairing — Combine with Finance (money-bill), Users & People (users), Charts (chart-bar) for full business feel.
- Accessibility — Add aria-hidden=”true” for decor; use labels for actions (e.g., phone icon with number).
- Upgrade path — FA6/7 Business has 100+ more free icons (badge-check, chart-simple, handshake-angle, etc.) — consider if building modern SaaS.
