A company's category for accounting purposes is determine by its turnover and employee numbers.
To fall within a category, you must stay under both the turnover and employee limit for that category. For example, if the company has 3 employees, but its turnover was
USD 10 million then it does not satisfy both requirements for the Micro category and it would be classified as a Small company for accounting purposes.
Category | Turnover | Employees |
Micro | < USD 2.5m | ≤ 9 |
Small | < USD 13.5m | ≤ 35 |
Medium | < USD 68m | ≤ 75 |
Other | > USD 68m | ≥ 75 |
If the company is a Parent or Subsidiary Undertaking, you must combine the revenue and employee count of the Company and its Parent and/or Subsidiary Undertaking to determine the size category.
