What are SMEs?
Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are businesses that employ up to 250 people.

We will see figures that range as high as 4.3 million and as low as 3.7 million, the best estimate being around 4.0 million.
Although the most usual definition of an SME is a company employing up to 250 employees, nearly all (over 99%) employ less than 50 people. In fact, three quarters of them don’t have any employees – they are sole operators. So, the emphasis really is on small rather than medium in the SME label.
