Growth spurts get attention

inc5000Twenty-eight of the 5,000 fastest growing private companies in the nation are headquartered in or near Richmond, according to the latest edition of the Inc. 5000.

Among the local companies on the list are eight IT firms, two ad agencies, a mosquito exterminator, a payroll company, a parking company and one of Richmond’s biggest law firms.

The rankings, put out each year by Inc. Magazine, measure growth based on revenue from a three-year period: in this case, 2008 through 2011. Companies must be privately held, independent and based in the United States. And they must have generated at least $100,000 in revenue in 2008 and at least $2 million in 2011.

Of the 28 local firms on the list, four were named to the Inc. 500, as BizSense reported last week.

Hundreds of firms from Virginia made the list of 5,000, with the majority in Northern Virginia.

The highest ranked among the locals excluding those previously named in the top 500 was Wheat Systems, a Richmond IT firm that has 46 employees. At No. 562, Wheat Systems reported three-year revenue growth of 658 percent and annual revenue last year of $18 million.

In terms of annual revenue in 2011, the pack of 28 local companies on the list was led by Apex Systems. The Glen Allen IT firm reported $705.2 million in revenue last year and 75 percent revenue growth from 2008 to 2011.

Apex was followed closely by law firm McGuireWoods, which brought in $567.5 million in revenue in 2011 and had 19 percent revenue growth during the three-year period.

And next time you pay for parking downtown, remember that your money helped locally based City Parking bring in $3.6 million in revenue last year and land the 4,076 ranking on the list.
