Quick Bridge Funding announced it ranked No. 346 on the Inc. magazine exclusive 2016 list of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies – the Inc. 500. Quick Bridge Funding achieved its rank by attaining a three-year growth rate of 1,114 percent with 2015 revenue at $48.9 million.
In addition, Quick Bridge Funding placed No. 21 out of the top financial services firms on the Inc. 5000 list. Based in Irvine, California, the alternative lending firm ranked No. 29 out of the Los Angeles Metro area firms on the list. According to Inc., firms must be U.S.-based and privately owned to qualify for inclusion. Revenue requirements for the newly released ranking were at least $100,000 in 2012 and at least $2 million last year.
"The Inc. 5000 list stands out where it really counts,” says Inc. President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg. “It honors real achievement by a founder or a team of them. No one makes the Inc. 5000 without building something great – usually from scratch. That’s one of the hardest things to do in business, as every company founder knows. But without it, free enterprise fails.”
“Being recognized as one of America’s top 500 fastest growing companies is a distinct honor,” said Quick Bridge Funding President Ben Gold. “Our continued growth is the result of our combination of well-versed business-to-business lending experience and strong capitalization. Our team of dedicated employees and network of professional sales partners have made it possible for Quick Bridge to make the prestigious Inc. 500 list two consecutive years.”
The 2016 Inc. 5000, unveiled online at Inc.com and with the top 500 companies featured in the September issue of Inc. is the most competitive crop in the list’s history. The average company on the list achieved a three-year growth of 433%. The Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue is $200 billion, and the companies on the list collectively generated 640,000 jobs over the past three years, or about 8% of all jobs created in the entire economy during that period.
