Sandy, Utah-Based Spectra Benefits Featured in Inc. Magazine’s Annual List of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies—the Inc. 5000

Inc. magazine today ranked Spectra Benefits NO. 2873 on its 36th annual Inc. 5000, the most prestigious ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies.

“My team and I are once again thrilled to receive such a prestigious ranking,” said R. Brent Bennett, CEO and Principal Advisor at Spectra Benefits. “All of us here at Spectra put our heart and soul into providing clients with a remarkable experience, and we feel privileged to be counted among such an incredible lineup of businesses.”

The 2017 Inc. 5000, unveiled online at Inc.com and with the top 500 companies featured in the September issue of Inc. is the most competitive crop in the list’s history. The average company on the list achieved a mind-boggling three-year growth of 481%.

"The Inc. 5000 list stands out where it really counts,” says Inc. President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg. “It honors real achievement by a founder or a team of them. No one makes the Inc. 5000 without building something great – usually from scratch. That’s one of the hardest things to do in business, as every company founder knows. But without it, free enterprise fails.”

Methodology

The 2017 Inc. 5000 is ranked according to percentage revenue growth when comparing 2013 to 2016. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2013. They had to be U.S.-based, privately held, for profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2016. (Since then, a number of companies on the list have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2013 is $100,000; the minimum for 2016 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons.
