The press releases from fast-growing companies are flowing in, so it must be time for the annual Inc. 5000 ranking of firms with soaring revenues. To qualify, companies must be U.S.-based, privately held, for profit, and independent as of Dec. 31, 2018. The ranking is based on percentage revenue growth from 2015 to 2018.
Firms with revenue of as little as $100,000 in 2015 qualify. So it’s really impressive that larger companies can still grow fast enough to stay on the list, year after year.
Here are the largest N.C.-based firms on the Inc. 5000 list.
- Transportation Insight – Hickory $2.3 billion – logistics
- Victra – Raleigh $1.5 billion – cell phone retailer
- Quantico Tactical – Aberdeen $492.5 million – government services
- MegaCorp. – Wrightsville Beach $294 million – logistics
- Congruity HR – Kernersville $210 million – staffing
- Raymer Oil – Statesville $153 million – oil jobber
- AvidXchange – Charlotte $125 million – software
- Aeroflow Healthcare – Asheville $118 million – medical equipment
