“When you look at the
amazing job growth among Inc. 500
companies and contrast it with the stagnation in the
Fortune 500, it underscores the changing nature of our
economy,” said Jim Melloan, project manager for the
Inc. 500. “With unprecedented global competition,
companies have to be able to turn on a dime and discover
innovative new ways of doing business. Increasingly,
it’s the smaller, agile companies like those on the
Inc. 500 that are best equipped to meet these
challenges.”
“It is quite an honor to
be recognized by the Inc. 500 for the second
straight year” stated Ken Stone, Managing Partner for
Logic Trends. “As we continue to expand our practice
and expertise across the US, we maintain a commitment of
excellence to our customers, partners, and employees
that have helped us achieve this milestone. Once again,
we are proud to be included in this entrepreneurial
group of the 500 fastest growing businesses in the
country.”
The Inc. 500
ranks privately held companies according to
year-over-year sales growth from 2001 to 2004. With
approximately 75% of all new job creation in the U.S.
coming from entrepreneurial businesses, the Inc. 500
opens a window onto the companies and industries that
are driving the economy forward. Over the years, the
Inc. 500 has identified the next generation of
world-class companies, with Microsoft, Stonyfield Farms,
Timberland, Oracle, The Princeton Review, Morningstar,
Jamba Juice, Gateway, E*Trade, Intuit, and Domino’s
Pizza all appearing on the list before they became
industry powerhouses.
Methodology
To be eligible for this
year’s Inc. 500, companies had to be U.S.-based,
independent and privately held through their fiscal year
2004, and have had at least $500,000 in net sales in the
base year of 2001. In addition, their 2004 sales had to
exceed 2003 sales. Companies are ranked on cumulative
three-year sales growth from 2001 to 2004. Inc.
verifies all information using tax forms and audited
financial statements from certified public accountants
and by conducting interviews with company officials.
