Eligibility and Company Structure

• What are the eligibility criteria for the Inc. 5000?
• What are the official rules for the 2024 Inc. 5000?
• Does my company have to be profitable to be eligible?
• My company's revenue declined in 2020 or 2023. Does that disqualify my business or make it unwise to apply?
• My company is public – can I apply?
• What if my company was a partnership in 2019 and is now a corporation?
• What if my company used to be a subsidiary or a division and is now independent?
• What if my company is private and independent but is about to be acquired or go public?
• My company is majority or wholly owned by a venture capital firm, a private equity firm, or an investment bank. Is it eligible?
