Listen: Operating companies and SMEs
Read the transcript
Built for companies from 30 staff, SMEs first. micro1's Enterprise programme requires 30 or more employees, two or more years in business and at least seventy per cent of the data in English. Multiple offices are a preparation consideration, not automatic qualification. Review who owns the records and which agreements restrict their use. Criteria are micro1's and can change. Nordic MarTech is an independent referrer. We may receive a referral fee; you pay nothing. We never hold, move, clean, value or sell your records. Start with the browser-only fit check. Only the buyer can decide whether to proceed. If you need a conversation first, use Talk to us. Do not include company records in your enquiry.

SME FAQ: staff, offices and micro1's selection process
Answers for SMEs on micro1's 30+ full-time staff threshold, multi-office preparation, the selection process and the separate closed-company route.
Via Nordic MarTech, an independent referrer. We may receive a referral fee; you pay nothing.
Staff threshold
What does micro1's 30+ staff threshold mean?
micro1's Enterprise Data Partnership starts at 30+ full-time staff. A single-office SME can meet that staff condition; having several offices is not a requirement. The programme name does not mean that only large enterprises can apply.
Can an operating SME with fewer than 30 staff apply?
An operating company with fewer than 30 full-time staff is below micro1's published minimum. Extra offices do not replace the staff requirement.
Preparing your staff count
How should a multi-office firm prepare its staff count?
For firms with offices in several countries, count the full-time staff and systems that work in English across all offices. micro1 decides what qualifies, case by case. This staff-counting guidance is Nordic MarTech's preparation guidance, not a separate rule published by micro1. Do not assume that offices, subsidiaries or unrelated companies can be combined into one qualifying application; ask micro1 to confirm the proposed scope.
Single and multiple offices
Does having several offices make an SME eligible?
No. A single-office SME can meet the staff condition; several offices are not a requirement. Meeting the staff minimum alone does not establish eligibility or guarantee acceptance or an offer. micro1 decides the company scope, qualifying records and written terms.
Company selection
How does micro1 select companies?
You apply in micro1's own portal. micro1 reviews the company, systems, record history and ownership, then decides whether to proceed and what written terms, if any, to offer. Nordic MarTech does not review or approve applications, and meeting the published criteria does not guarantee acceptance.
Closed and winding-down companies
Which route applies if the company has closed or is winding down?
For closed or winding-down firms, the guide uses the Defunct Company Data Partnership route: 30+ full-time staff at peak, substantial Microsoft Teams or Slack data and mainly English records. The authorised rightsholder or officeholder should use the closed-company guide.

FAQ feedback is stored only as daily yes/no totals per question, for 90 days. No individual votes or personal data are stored.
We count, as daily totals, which pages are viewed and how often the light/dark switch is used, plus which stages of the consultation are reached. No cookies, IP addresses, device identifiers, profile answers or personal data. Totals are kept for 90 days.
For a closed or winding-down company, use the officeholder application guide. Operating multi-office firms remain on the Enterprise route.
