Use it when

When a company files no revenue, to size it before a first offer.

What it does

An estimate for a company that files no revenue, always labeled as one: employees x Eurostat's net turnover per person employed for its size class (by NACE group) where Eurostat publishes it, else for its industry (by NACE class), in its EU or EEA country, with both figures, the year and the datasets. Never mixed into filed figures. companies_get gives the industry code and, where published, the employees.

What comes back

estimate (revenue, currency, is_estimate), employees, country, industry, turnover_per_person_employed (used, and size_class and industry: value, year, nace, turnover and persons), method and sources. Every reply also carries cost_usd and balance_usd.

Inputs
