Comment: "Thanks to everyone for your suggestions! In the end I did use "classification" based on all the ways it kept appearing in my text. But the other answers are possible too based on context."

"Rating" sounds more "English" and slightly less clunky than the other 2 options IMO, although they are both correct.
"Evaluation" for me refers more to the PROCESS than the result (the rating) of the assessment, although in Spain the two are used indiscrimately.

Discussion
It refers to "evaluating/classifying/rating" operations of businesses. What do we use most often in English? I am finding a lot of support for "evaluating". But "classification/rating" seem to go better with "economic" (economic classification/rating of the operation).
