The new rules will not exclude companies less than three years old. The three‑year period is intended as a window of time for assessing whether a company can demonstrate sufficient revenue; it is not an age‑based restriction. Companies may make political donations, provided they are able to demonstrate sufficient revenue and meet the other eligibility criteria set out in legislation.
