What counts as a "small enterprise"?

Per EU guidelines, a small enterprise has an annual turnover or balance sheet total of €10 million or less. Employee and financial thresholds must include linked or partner enterprises, as follows:

  • Autonomous Enterprise: Use only your business figures if no other entities hold 25% or more of your business, or vice versa.
  • Partner Enterprise: Add a proportion of another business’s figures if they own 25–50% of your business, or vice versa.
  • Linked Enterprise: Include 100% of the figures from any business that owns over 50% of your business, or vice versa.

Why are linked businesses included in eligibility checks?

This ensures that larger groups cannot unfairly benefit from SME grants. The rule aligns with EU regulations to maintain fair competition and prioritize genuine small businesses.
