For me:

office=electrician

should be used for mapping the location of larger electricians company, e.g., as Daniel says, where they employ office staff and, likely, more than one electrician works at the company. The primary function of the tag is that this location acts as an office with primarily administrative tasks, rather than electrical tasks, being carried out there.

craft=electrician

should be used for either: the registered address of an electrician (usually their residential address but maybe a shared office space or workshop) who is not part of a larger company (in the UK we'd call that "self-employed").

Cheers.

I recently asked for a clarification and did not get any answer. So here is my question again (with some context):

Using the workplace of an electrician as an example, it was made clear that I should use craft=electrician instead of office=electrician. But what if this electrician sees its business get bigger (in a North American context)?

The electrician eventually hires secretaries, accountants, many other electricians and create a company (if not already incorporated). Should that workplace being tagged as office=company and company=electrician? Or if only the final output of the company should be taken into account (whatever its size) and then still be tagged craft=electrician?

Thank you for your patience :-)

I would usually use healthcare=psychotherapist for them.

Thanks
