CraigMichaels Named to Inc. 5000 List of America's Fastest Growing Private Companies

CraigMichaels, Inc. is honored to announce that we have been named to Inc. Magazine's Annual List of America's 5000 Fastest-Growing Private Companies. "This is our second year being named to the Inc. 5000 list, and we are thrilled to be one of the honorees" said Craig Lehmann, President of CraigMichaels, Inc. "You cannot grow a company without good people and we are fortunate to have staff that are dedicated towards success. They can all be very proud of this achievement."

The Inc. 5000 list is a comprehensive look at the most important segment of the U.S. economy, the critical entrepreneurial segment. Companies on the list reported aggregate revenue of $185 billion and median three-year growth of 147 percent. In addition, the 2009 Inc. 5000 companies have created more than 826,033 jobs since those companies were founded.

The 2009 Inc. 5000 list measures revenue growth from 2005 through 2008. To qualify, companies must be U.S.-based and privately held, for profit, independent -- not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies -- as of December 31, 2008, and have had at least $200,000 in revenue in 2005, and $2 million in 2008.
