What type of company would not have a Cost of Goods Sold figure?

A service-based company, such as a consulting firm or a law office, typically would not have a Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) figure, as they do not sell physical products. Instead, their expenses are more related to labor, overhead, and operational costs. COGS is primarily relevant for businesses that manufacture or sell tangible goods. Therefore, service-oriented enterprises focus on their operating expenses rather than COGS.
