According to IAPMEI, SME Excellence companies are those presenting ratios of financial solidity and profitability above the national average, which have been successful in maintaining highly competitive standards in a particularly demanding context, and that are managing to overcome the crisis with growth, consolidation of results and active contributions to the creation of wealth and employment in the regions where they operate.

The SME Excellence Statute is incorporated in an IAPMEI company qualification programme, which seeks to confer a high reputation and optimise conditions for the financing and competitive reinforcement of the SME Leader segment, companies with superior risk profiles that due to their growth strategies constitute important leverages of the country's economic development.

The SME Excellence selection is made annually from the universe of SME Leader, creating an instrument of additional visibility for the group of companies that are highlighted every year due to the best results.
