38 Metro Detroit companies make list of fastest growing businesses in America

Dozens of Metro Detroit companies have made Inc.’s list of the 5,000 fastest growing businesses in America.

Inc. released their big list of the fastest growing companies in the country this week. Here’s how the list is determined:

“Companies on the 2022 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2018 to 2021. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2018. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent--not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies--as of December 31, 2021. (Since then, some on the list may have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2018 is $100,000; the minimum for 2021 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Growth rates used to determine company rankings were calculated to four decimal places.”

In all, 74 Michigan companies made the list. Filtered by metro areas, including Detroit and Ann Arbor, 38 companies were featured. Here’s a breakdown of where local companies fell on the big list of 5,000 businesses.
