Richmond is home to four of the 500 fastest growing private companies in the nation, according to rankings released this week by Inc. Magazine.
Named to the annual Inc. 500 are Richmond-based Shockoe Commerce, Best Bully Sticks, Impact Makers and Momentum Resources.
Inc. ranks companies based on percentage growth of annual revenue over a three-year period: in this case, 2008 through 2011.
Companies must be privately held, independent and based in the United States and must have generated at least $100,000 in revenue in 2008 and at least $2 million in 2011.
The highest-ranked Richmond company was Momentum Resources, a recruiting firm headquartered on Libbie Avenue. It was No. 156 on the list, thanks to three-year revenue growth of 2,170 percent. Its revenue in 2011 was $2.6 million, according to the numbers it reported to Inc.
In terms of 2011 revenue, Shockoe Commerce was the leader among the four local firms on the list. An offshoot of Boxwood Capital Partners, a Shockoe Slip private equity firm, Shockoe Commerce owns online retailers that sell products as diverse as yoga supplies, coffee and office supplies. It reported $13.2 million in revenue last year and was ranked 422 out of 500.
Local consulting firm Impact Makers, which was No. 360 on the list, reported revenue growth of 1,030 percent between 2008 and 2011.
Pet-treat maker Best Bully Sticks ranked 384 on the list with three-year revenue growth of 982 percent. The company this year closed on its second acquisition.
