Thirteen Arkansas companies have been named to Inc. magazine's annual list of the 5,000 fastest-growing privately held companies in the U.S. 

Last year marked the debut of the Inc. 5000, an expanded version of the Inc. 500, which has been published every year since 1982. The list profiles the fastest-growing private companies in the U.S., as determined by each company's percentage of revenue growth from 2004 to 2007. To qualify for the list, companies must have been founded by the first week of 2004 and demonstrate four full years of revenue.
