Our annual Fast 50 program ranks small businesses according to their compound annual growth rates over the previous five years.

For the 2023 rankings: we are looking at government revenue numbers from 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022.

Companies need a minimum of $100,000 in government revenue for 2018 to qualify.

Government revenue includes both prime and subcontract dollars in the federal, state and local markets. Work in the education field also qualifies.

Companies submit revenue data for the five years. We then calculate the CAGR and the companies are ranked accordingly.

It is important to note that when we publish the rankings, the revenue data is included and is available for public view.

All entries should include information on your business such as capabilities, lines of business, major customers and major contracts. That information will also be published in the package.

The Fast 50 package will include the rankings and our analysis of this year's list.
