The fastest-growing businesses in Naperville are also among the fastest-growing in the nation, according to a new listing.
The Inc. 5000 ranks the fastest-growing private companies in America, and five based in Naperville — plus another headquartered in Lombard with a longtime Naperville presence — made this year’s list.
Companies earn their spots based on percentage revenue growth during the past three years. Ranked between No. 571 and No. 4,528, these Naperville companies, and others on the list, “show where the economy is going,” according to Inc., a business magazine that calls itself “the voice of the American entrepreneur.”
