Small And Medium Enterprises

The abbreviation "SME" is used by many national agencies and international organizations such as the World Bank, the OECD, European Union, the United Nations, and the World Trade Organization (WTO). In any given national economy, SMEs outnumber large companies by a wide margin and also employ many more people.
