Is it a New Record? We Think so, as 102 Utah Firms Make the 2023 Inc. 5000 List.

From numbers 23 to 4,830 and from the "Advertising & Marketing" to the "Travel & Hospitality" Industries, Utah-based companies show extremely well in the penultimate 2023 ranking of fast-growth, privately held enterprises in America.

In what has become an annual fascination for business-watchers everywhere, Inc. magazine has just released its yearly ranking of the 5,000 fastest-growing, privately held companies headquartered in the United States.

However, what's especially interesting about the 2023 Inc. 5000 Report is that 102 different Utah-based firms have made the grade this year.

And if our review of past data is accurate (and we believe it is), this is the first time the "State of Deseret" has had 100 or more firms make the vaunted Inc. 5000 list in one year ... 102 companies to be exact in 2023.

Some Data about Utah's 2023 Inc. 5000 Honorees

Before sharing the list, however, I believe it's worth sharing a bit of data.

For example, a total of 36 Utah cities had at least one Inc. 5000 honoree in 2023.

The Utah city with the most 2023 Inc. 5000 honorees was Lehi, with 19 companies.

In fact, 17 cities in Utah had two or more firms included in this year's ranking, as shown below:

  1. Lehi: 19 companies included in the Inc. 5000 ranking in 2023;
  2. Salt Lake City: 10 companies included in the Inc. 5000 ranking in 2023;
  3. Orem: 6 companies included in the Inc. 5000 ranking in 2023;
  4. American Fork: 5 companies included in the Inc. 5000 ranking in 2023;

Additionally, Utah firms in the 2023 Inc. 5000 list were most likely to be based in the Software Industry (with 21 honorees), while a total of 17 Industries had at least two Utah-HQ'd companies included in their markets. Specifically,

  • Software: 21 Utah-based companies in this Industry;
  • Business Products & Services: 16 Utah-based companies in this Industry;
  • Advertising & Marketing: 10 Utah-based companies in this Industry;
  • Financial Services: 8 Utah-based companies in this Industry;

  • Human Resources: 2 Utah-based companies in this Industry;
  • Manufacturing: 2 Utah-based companies in this Industry; and
  • Security: 2 Utah-based companies in this Industry.

Conversely, seven Industries in the 2023 Inc. 5000 Report had only one Utah-HQ'd company included in each of the following Industries

  1. The Agriculture & Natural Resources Industry;
  2. The Computer Hardware Industry;
  3. The Education Industry;
  4. The IT Services Industry;
  5. The Logistics & Transportation Industry;
  6. The Telecommunications Industry; and
  7. The Travel & Hospitality Industry.

Of the 102 Utah-based companies in the 2023 Inc. 5000 ranking, over half (62) are prior honorees.

In combination, these 102 firms added 18,769 jobs during the three-year-period ended 31 December 2022.

And on average, the median growth for each Utah-based firm in the 2023 Inc. 5000 was 257% over the three-year-period.

AUTHOR'S NOTE:  The following is the description of the Inc. 5000 Methodology (with minor edits to match the editorial style of Utah Money Watch) -

"Companies on the 2023 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2019 to 2022. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by 31 March 2019. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent--not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies--as of 31 December 2022. (Since then, some on the list may have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2019 is $100,000; the minimum for 2022 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Growth rates used to determine rankings were calculated to four decimal places."
