Frequently asked questions: Is my company an SME?
What is an SME under EU rules?+
A company with fewer than 250 staff and an annual turnover of up to EUR 50 million or a balance sheet of up to EUR 43 million.
Is a freelancer an SME?+
Yes: for grants, a self-employed person with an economic activity counts as a company and, almost always, as a micro-enterprise.
What are partner or linked enterprises?+
If another company owns 25% or more of yours (or you of another), their figures are added proportionally. If it controls it (over 50%), they are added in full.
Which figures do I use?+
Those of the last closed financial year. A change of category only counts once it holds for two consecutive years.
