neutral  Terry Thatcher Waltz, Ph.D.: This is the scope of business, not the type of business. Type is one word or phrase to characterize all activities; scope would be a listing of various included activities. If it were "lines" (plural) then I'd go with "fanwei".

经营范围/营业范围


Explanation:
The "line" here means an area or branch of activity, so translation Fan Wei is proper.
