“We are thrilled to be named to Inc. 5000,” says Afshin Cangarlu, CEO of Stratus Building Solutions. “Our team works hard day-in-and-day-out and it’s great to see that hard work pay off. Our network of franchisees are skilled, capable, and driven individuals, and I’m proud of the work we’ve done.”
LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)
August 17, 2020
Inc. magazine today revealed that Stratus Building Solutions, the nation’s leading green cleaning and janitorial services franchise, is No. 4291 on its annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment — its independent small businesses. Microsoft, Dell, Domino’s Pizza, Pandora, Timberland, LinkedIn, Yelp, Zillow, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.
“We are thrilled to be named to Inc. 5000,” says Afshin Cangarlu, CEO of Stratus Building Solutions. “Our team works hard day-in-and-day-out and it’s great to see that hard work pay off. Our network of franchisees are skilled, capable, and driven individuals, and I’m proud of the work we’ve done. It’s an honor to be recognized.”
Not only have the companies on the 2020 Inc. 5000 (which are listed online at Inc.com, with the top 500 companies featured in the September issue of Inc.) been very competitive within their markets, but the list as a whole shows staggering growth compared with prior lists. The 2020 Inc. 5000 achieved an astounding median growth rate of 165 percent. The Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue was $209.7 billion in 2019, accounting for 582,670 jobs added over the past year.
Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found at http://www.inc.com/inc5000.
“For decades, Inc. has welcomed the fastest-growing private companies in America, and this year’s set of winners places the bar very high indeed,” said Scott Omelianuk, Editor in Chief of Inc. Media. “Companies that made the list, on average, have grown six-fold since 2016. During a stretch when the economy grew just 15 percent, that’s a result most businesses could only dream of.”
While circumstances prevent an in-person Inc. 5000 Conference & Gala, a special week-long streaming event honoring the list recipients, will begin on October 19. From special recognition to seminars with the world’s most successful entrepreneurs to education sessions and entertainment, it will be a worthy ceremony.

Methodology
The 2020 Inc. 5000 is ranked according to percentage revenue growth when comparing 2016 and 2019. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2016. They had to be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent — not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies — as of December 31, 2019. (Since then, a number of companies on the list have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2016 is $100,000; the minimum for 2019 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Companies on the Inc. 500 are featured in Inc.’s September issue. They represent the top tier of the Inc. 5000, which can be found at http://www.inc.com/inc5000.
