What does the PME Líder status mean?

The PME Líder status was launched by IAPMEI (Institute of Support to Small and Medium Enterprises and Innovation) in 2008, within the scope of the FINCRESCE Program, with the objective of distinguishing the merit of national SMEs with superior performances. It is thus a reputation seal for companies.

This seal is awarded in partnership with Turismo de Portugal, a group of partner banks and Mutual Guarantee Societies, based on the best rating and economic-financial indicators.

Acquiring this status is a very important achievement, as it gives companies notoriety and provides them with optimized financing conditions so that they can develop their growth strategies and strengthen their competitive base.
