Welcome, financial adventurers, to the arcane realm of the Medium-Sized Company! You know a company’s size matters (contrary to what middle school bullies loved to say). For medium-sized companies, the regulatory world offers a myriad of filing exemptions. Ready for a deep dive peppered with mirth and motivation? Dive in! 🏊♂️⚖️
Definition: Medium-Sized Company
A medium-sized company is the business world’s equivalent of Clint Eastwood—neither the behemoth Evel Knievel corporations nor the tiny mom-and-pop stores but carved from sturdy, rock-steady stuff measured precisely by three golden criteria. Meet two out of these three, and you’re strolling into medium town:
- Net Worth: Shouldn’t exceed £12.9 million. Any more might weigh us down—literally and figuratively. 🏦✨
- Turnover: Up to £25.9 million—not a dime more. It’s like counting grains of gold but don’t let them spillover! 🏅🔢
- Average Number of Employees: Can have up to 250 talents cranking the revenue wheel. Anyone above that can find seats at a larger corporate carnival. 🏢👩💻👨🔧
Meaning: Why Medium?
Medium is the Goldilocks zone of the corporate crib—just right. Medium-sized companies get the ‘best of both’.
- First-Year Grace: Inception charm—meet conditions in the first year to enjoy the luxe exemptions.
- Second Year Continuum: Second-year surprises—achieved goals last year? Keep enjoying the harvest in year two!
Importance: Marvels Overstricted Mediums
Being medium means you treasure:
- Full Audited Financial Statements: Surely, you’ve strewn pearls for the shareholders.
- Regulatory Relaxations: Heave a sigh; perks are raining without drowning in full-scale regulations.
Types: Searching for the Medium Sweetspot
There’s just one medium (beware copycats!). Skim the market with precise measure lines:
- Public Limited companies (PLC): Not a stitch in the medium’s lifestyle.
- Banking/Insurance firms: Boop-snooze med forms, bigger regulatory umbrellas await.
- Financial Services Act 1986 Members: Heave taxes somewhere else, chum!
- Ineligible Group Members: Is there a ’re-apply’ button somewhere?
Examples: Fictionously Fabulous

Nominal Net Worth: £7M, Turnover: £20M, Employees: 150 👩🍳👨🍳
Sweet-Spot Industries Inc.

Both enjoy their stroll across the regulation velvet rug.
