How is a Slightly Bigger company defined (page 6 of 27 in guide of applicants)?

Slightly Bigger Company is not defined by EU, but Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are defined in the EU recommendation 2003/361.

The main factors determining whether an enterprise is an SME are:

• staff headcount
• either turnover or balance sheet total

Company Category	Staff Headcount	Turnover	or	Balance Sheet Total
Medium-Sized	< 250	< or = 50 m Euros	< or = 43 m Euros
Small	< 50	< or = 10 m Euros	< or = 10 m Euros
Micro	< 10	< or = 2 m Euros	< or = 2 m Euros

These ceilings apply to the figures for individual firms only. A firm that is part of a larger group may need to include staff headcount/turnover/balance sheet data from that group too.
