Does my company have to be profitable to be eligible?

No. The Inc. 5000 is determined solely by revenue growth; profitability is not a consideration. We will be using your reported revenue (line 1c on your tax returns) to calculate your growth rate. However, companies that have lower revenue in 2022 than in 2019 are not be eligible.

The early-rate fee to apply is $245 until March 24, 2023.
The regular-rate fee to apply is $345 from March 25 until the final deadline date of April 21, 2023.
The final deadline to submit your Revenue Verification Materials  is  May 5, 2023.

All submission dates are until 11:59 pm Pacific Time.
Apply  here  for the 2023 Inc. 5000!
