The Capital Corporation

How do I enter South Carolina's Fastest Growing Companies?

Complete the entry form and email to fastest@thecapitalcorp.com before June 30^th   2011. 

You will receive confirmation your entry was received and is complete. A member of the Capital

Corporation will contact you to conduct a brief interview either in person or by phone to learn

more about your company and verify the information submitted. The Capital Corporation will

contact you in late summer to invite you to the awards presentation luncheon if your company

will be included on the list.

 How long will it take to complete the entry?

We provide a worksheet for you or your company’s CFO to complete.  The worksheet requires

financial reporting of your company's performance over the prior 3 fiscal years, including asset

growth, revenue growth and increase in the number of full-time employees.  We also need basic

company information, including the location of headquarters and key contacts.  Time needed to

complete the entry should be minimal; view our entry form for more details.

When will I find out if my company has won?

Winners will be notified in October and invited to an awards luncheon, to be held in November

10, 2911.  The ranking of winners will be announced at the luncheon.

How are winners chosen?

The Capital Corporation uses an objective formula to determine the winners.  The formula takes

into account increases in gross revenue  (or assets) in the most recently completed fiscal year as

compared to the two prior years, as well as corresponding changes in employment, to fairly compare

the field of different sized companies.  For a more complete description of these criteria, view our

program regulations.

Is it necessary to enter, or will successful companies be automatically considered?

Because The Capital Corporation uses an objective formula and self-reported data to determine

winners, it is necessary for each company interested in the award to enter. We will not nominate

any companies. Our entry form requires only basic financial and company data, and should be

relatively simple to complete.

My company is small  - am I eligible?

As long as a company reports $3 million or more in revenues in the most recently completed fiscal

year under consideration, the company is eligible.
