The Inc. 5000 list honors growing entrepreneurial companies in the United States. An extension of the magazine's annual Inc. 500 list, it is the fourth year that the publication has taken such a comprehensive look at the wealth of rapidly growing businesses that represent the backbone of the U.S. economy. The 2010 Inc. 5000 list measures revenue growth from 2006 through 2009. To be considered, a company must be privately held, based in the United States, and have had at least $200,000 in revenue in 2006 and $2 million in 2009.
"I encourage other businesses to strive for the Inc. 5000," said Hamaty-Simmonds who recently was a guest speaker at an Inc. Magazine seminar in Miami on 'Business Across Borders'. "This recognition gives your company added credibility with its customers and suppliers, and shows your employees how their hard work is being noticed and honored. We hope to be on the list for many years to come."
