Inc. Magazine Unveils Its First-Ever List of California’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies — The Inc. 5000 Series: California

Branded Group Ranks No. 77 on the Inaugural 2020 Inc. 5000 Series: California With Two-Year Revenue Growth of 268 Percent

Orange County, Calif, February 27, 2020 – Inc. magazine today revealed that Branded Group is No. 77 on its inaugural Inc. 5000 Series: California list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing California-based private companies. Born of the annual Inc. 5000 franchise, this regional list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the California economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent small businesses.

“Branded Group is honored to be included on the 2020 Inc. 5000 list of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies in California,” Michael Kurland, Branded Group CEO, said. “Our commitment to #BeBetter is supported by a dedicated team, loyal customers and vendors, as well as our valued non-profit partners. Each has helped us achieve our vision to build a conscious business that inspires future humanitarian leaders.”

The companies on this list show stunning rates of growth across all industries in California. Between 2016 and 2018, these 250 private companies had an average growth rate of 422 percent and, in 2018 alone, they employed more than 49,000 people and added $5.6 billion to the California economy. Companies based in the largest metro areas—Los Angeles, the Bay Area, and San Diego—brought in the highest revenue overall.

Complete results of the Inc. 5000 Series: California, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, metro area, and other criteria, can be found at inc.com/inc5000-series-california-2020 starting February 19, 2020.

“The companies on this list demonstrate just how much the small-business sector impacts California’s economy,” Inc. editor in chief Scott Omelianuk said. “Across every single industry, these businesses have posted revenue and growth rates that are beyond impressive, further proving the tenacity of their founders and CEOs.”

Methodology

The 2020 Inc. 5000 Regional Series is ranked according to percentage revenue growth when comparing 2016 and 2018. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2016. They had to be U.S.-based, privately held, for profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2018. (Since then, a number of companies on the list have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2016 is $100,000; the minimum for 2018 is $1 million.
