Chile Company Database by Size, Sales and Employees
Chile company database by size: 961,472 legal entities from the SII roll with sales bracket in UF, employees, sector and region, and how to filter them.
Short answer: Chile's tax authority, the SII (Servicio de Impuestos Internos), publishes a yearly roll of legal entities with sales bracket, employees and sector. For commercial year 2024, excluding companies that have ceased trading, there are 961,472: 498,938 micro, 199,499 small, 35,412 medium, 17,510 large and 210,113 with no sales information. Our Chile companies with size, sales and employees dataset joins that roll with the current 2026 rolls (legal name, address and branches) in one 44-column file, for a one-time US$399.
If your question is "how many mid-sized companies are there in my region and sector" or "which companies grew last year", this is the source. Below we explain how size is classified, what each row contains and how to filter.
How the SII classifies company size
The SII classifies companies by annual sales in UF (Unidad de Fomento, an inflation-indexed unit of account used in Chile), in 13 brackets. These are the counts for commercial year 2024:
| Size | Annual sales bracket | Companies |
|---|---|---|
| Micro 1 | 0.01 to 200 UF | 196,581 |
| Micro 2 | 200.01 to 600 UF | 118,491 |
| Micro 3 | 600.01 to 2,400 UF | 183,866 |
| Small 1 | 2,400.01 to 5,000 UF | 87,074 |
| Small 2 | 5,000.01 to 10,000 UF | 61,417 |
| Small 3 | 10,000.01 to 25,000 UF | 51,008 |
| Medium 1 | 25,000.01 to 50,000 UF | 22,304 |
| Medium 2 | 50,000.01 to 100,000 UF | 13,108 |
| Large 1 | 100,000.01 to 200,000 UF | 7,504 |
| Large 2 | 200,000.01 to 600,000 UF | 6,056 |
| Large 3 | 600,000.01 to 1,000,000 UF | 1,362 |
| Large 4 | Over 1,000,000 UF | 2,588 |
| No information | 210,113 |
The value is a bracket, not the exact sales figure: the SII does not publish individual amounts. To filter with numbers, the dataset includes ventas_anuales_uf_min and ventas_anuales_uf_max for each bracket.
Employees: the second key filter
The roll reports each company's dependent employees: 9,224,157 in total. 317,898 companies have at least 1, 83,992 have 10 or more, 22,008 have 50 or more and 6,058 have 200 or more.
Sales and headcount do not always line up. Among the 22,008 companies with 50 or more employees, 9,037 are large, 7,019 medium and 4,164 small by sales. That is why it pays to combine both filters.
Two details to keep in mind: the SII counts employees per employer (a person with two jobs counts in both) and assigns them to the head office, not to each branch.
Where the medium and large companies are
Of the 52,922 medium or large companies, 60.8% are in the Santiago Metropolitan Region:
| Region | Medium and large |
|---|---|
| Santiago Metropolitan | 32,188 |
| Valparaíso | 4,043 |
| Biobío | 2,752 |
| Maule | 2,219 |
| O'Higgins | 2,031 |
| Los Lagos | 1,995 |
By sector, medium and large companies are led by wholesale and retail trade (14,742), financial and insurance activities (5,479), manufacturing (4,418), construction (3,875), agriculture, livestock, forestry and fishing (3,468) and transport and storage (3,395).
A concrete segment as an example: in Biobío there are 143 medium-sized construction companies with 50 or more employees.
Which companies grew compared with 2023
The dataset includes the 2023 sales bracket and employees for 808,766 companies, and the evolucion_tramo_ventas column sums up the change: 133,427 moved up a bracket, 115,795 moved down and 372,333 stayed the same. Among 2024's medium and large companies, 15,307 moved up a bracket.
In B2B sales, a company that just moved up a bracket is often hiring, buying equipment or changing suppliers.

The free source and what the dataset adds
The company roll is SII open data and can be downloaded for free. If you only need to count companies by bracket and region, the official release is enough.
What we did to prepare the file, as documented on its page:
- We joined by RUT the 2024 roll with the current 2026 rolls to add the current legal name (it changed for 8,824 companies), current activities, head office address and number of branches (84,725 companies have at least one).
- We excluded 23,647 companies that ceased trading, estates, 6,658 taxpayers without legal personality and 15 records named after natural persons. There are no natural persons in the file.
- Dates in ISO format, brackets and employees as numbers, no duplicate RUTs.
The file has no phones or emails. For contacts we have the Chile company database with phone and email, with 30,278 emails. For recently created companies, see new companies in Chile 2025-2026. Every Chilean company file is listed under Chile company databases.
