Eligibility checker

Micro-Entity Eligibility Checker

Check whether a company or LLP is likely to meet the main micro-entity size tests using turnover, balance sheet total, employees, and a simple exclusion flag.

This is a threshold-based checker rather than a substitute for full reporting advice or detailed exclusion analysis.

Micro-Entity Eligibility Checker

Check whether a company or LLP is likely to meet the main micro-entity size tests using turnover, balance sheet total, employees, and an exclusion flag.

Does a sector or entity exclusion apply?

What this checker tells you

The result shows whether the entered facts are broadly consistent with the micro-entity regime and which of the main threshold tests pass or fail.

It is designed to highlight the main size-test outcome quickly before deeper accounting review.

Rule summary

Micro-entity threshold tests used here

This checker uses the current micro-entity thresholds of turnover not more than £1 million, balance sheet total not more than £500,000, and average employees not more than 10.

A company or LLP generally needs at least 2 of the 3 threshold tests and no relevant exclusion for the result to come out positive.

Worked examples

How the result behaves in practice

Two thresholds passed and no exclusion

A company comes under the turnover and employee limits, and no exclusion applies.

The checker returns an eligible-style verdict because the main threshold screen is satisfied.

Thresholds passed but exclusion applies

The figures look small enough, but the sector or entity exclusion question is answered Yes.

The checker moves away from an eligible verdict because exclusions override the simple threshold count.

Turn the result into an action plan

Keep a note of which threshold tests passed and whether any exclusion needs deeper review.

If the business may fall outside the micro-entity regime, compare the result against the small-company threshold checker next.

Use the wider filing and calendar tools so size-regime decisions stay linked to actual compliance deadlines.

Assumptions and limits

This tool applies published thresholds directly to the facts you enter.

Assumptions
