ClearOne Advantage Ranks No. 392 on the 2012 Inc. 500 with Three-Year Sales Growth of 959%
New York, NY, August 25, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Inc. magazine today ranked Maryland-based ClearOne Advantage No. 392 on its 31st annual Inc. 500|5000, an exclusive ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. The list represents the most comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy - America’s independent entrepreneurs. Companies such as Microsoft, Zappos, Intuit, Jamba Juice, Zipcar, Clif Bar, Vizio, Oracle, and many other well-known names gained early exposure as members of the Inc. 500|5000.
“We were thrilled to be included in Inc.’s prestigious list of fastest growing private companies. The distinction is a testament that our dedication and hard work in creating a viable, full service debt resolution provider that delivers superior debt negotiation and attentive, tailored customer service to our clients has truly paid off in the five years since we formed,” said Tomas Gordon, CEO of ClearOne Advantage.
ClearOne Advantage was the highest ranked Maryland-based financial service company on the 2012 list and the twenty-fifth ranked financial service company nationally. The company also landed in the top ten fastest growing Baltimore, Md. based private companies, at No. 6.
The 2012 Inc. 500, unveiled in the September issue of Inc. (available on newsstands August 21 to November 15 and on Inc.com), is the most competitive crop in the list’s history. To make the cut, companies had to have achieved a staggering minimum of 770% in sales growth. The Inc. 500’ s aggregate revenue is $15.7 billion, with a median three-year growth of 1,431 percent. The companies on this year's Inc. 500 employ more than 48,000 people and generated over 40,000 jobs in the past three years. Complete results of the Inc. 500|5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found at www.inc.com/500.
"Now, more than ever, we depend on Inc. 500/5000 companies to spur innovation, provide jobs, and drive the economy forward. Growth companies, not large corporations, are where the action is,” says Inc. magazine Editor Eric Schurenberg.
Methodology
The 2012 Inc. 500|5000 is ranked according to percentage revenue growth when comparing 2008 to 2011. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2008. They had to be U.S.-based, privately held, for profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2011. (Since then, a number of companies on the list have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2008 is $100,000; the minimum for 2011 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons.
