Frequently asked questions
What distinguishes an innovative SME?
An innovative SME is a small or medium-sized enterprise, not necessarily newly incorporated, that meets the requirements of Article 4 of Decree-Law 3/2015, including certification of the financial statements by an auditor or audit firm. The firm checks the requirements on the specific case.
What is the difference from an innovative startup?
They are two distinct statuses, each with its own requirements and registration. The innovative startup is distinguished mainly by the young age of the company. See the dedicated innovative startups solution.
Which incentives are available?
Measures and conditions change over time and depend on the status, size and activity of the company. The firm checks case by case those currently in force; the grants and incentives available for consultation are collected in the dedicated register.
Can audit and consulting involve the same company?
Audit engagements and consulting services for the same company are subject to independence rules and are assessed case by case before accepting the engagement.
