What are the eligibility requirements?
Eligible companies must:
- Be headquartered in South Carolina
- Have been in operation for at least two full fiscal years
- Have reported revenues of at least $3 million ($50 million in assets for financial institutions) in the most recent reported year. Company rankings will be based on the two most recently completed fiscal years at the time of nomination.
- Revenue and employment figures reported must be within South Carolina ONLY.
Note: Financial information provided is used only for ranking purposes only and is held in confidence by Elliott Davis.
What is required and how will entries be evaluated? Eligible companies must complete a nomination form, which includes two years of revenue/asset and employment information along with some basic company information. Submittals will be compiled, evaluated for completeness and ranked by a review panel from Elliott Davis. Elliott Davis will tabulate the South Carolina's Fastest-Growing Companies list based solely on responses received.
Rankings will be determined by using a weighted equation of increase in gross revenues (or assets) and increase in full-time employees. Revenues and employment figures must be for South Carolina only and cannot reflect increases due to mergers or acquisitions.
