Micro Enterprises are productive businesses owned by individuals or sole proprietorships that meet the criteria for Micro Enterprises. Meanwhile, Small Enterprises are independent productive economic businesses that are not affiliated with medium or large enterprises, either directly or indirectly. Medium Enterprises, on the other hand, are also independent productive economic businesses that are not affiliated with Small or large Enterprises, either directly or indirectly, with net wealth or annual sales that meet the criteria for Medium Enterprises.
