| Size |
If you have requested UK Company Size/Sector Data Services from Atamis, the Company Size field is derived from the number of employees, annual turnover and total assets figures retrieved from Companies House and by applying an algorithm based on the EU definition of an SME. Atamis data services also identify the category of Individuals using matching algorithms against a database of common first names, last names and titles. This algorithm also takes into account common trading terms so, for example, “John Smith Solicitors” and “Peter Davies Building Contractors Ltd” would not be flagged as Individuals. A field called SME? is used in Atamis SA, which is derived from the Size and Sector fields and contains one of three values:
Reports and dashboards that indicate the Proportion of spend with SMEs use the formula: (SME spend) / (SME spend + Not SME spend) * 100% |
| Sector |
There are four possible values for this field:
Atamis derives this data from either: Companies House data (the legal type of the business), a database of Charities, manual research of supplier websites or client updates via ProSpend Communities. |
