Since our winners are chosen through self-reported financial data, your company can’t win if you don’t enter. If you still aren’t sure if Fastest Growing Companies is right for you, consider:

1. Executives of the 25 top ranking companies are invited to be guests of Elliott Davis at the South Carolina Chamber of Commerce's prestigious Annual Summit event at Wild Dunes near Charleston in November. Here the representatives of the winning companies will be honored at the Summit's luncheon event and will network with executives from other winning companies and key business leaders from across the Palmetto State.
2. Winners are publicized in South Carolina Business magazine, ETV Radio and other media outlets around South Carolina. Reach customers, and potential clients.
