22 Loudoun Companies Are Among Fastest Growing in Nation

Inc. Magazine’s list of the fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. is out, and 22 of Loudoun County’s businesses made the cut.

This represents a 57 percent increase over last year, when 14 companies made the Inc. list. Economic Development Director Buddy Rizer attributes the growth to the county’s strong I.T. sector.

“Many of the companies on this list have something to do with I.T., which employs almost 30 percent of the Loudoun workforce,” Rizer said.

But I.T. isn’t the only Loudoun industry on an upward trajectory. Making their third appearance on the Inc. fast-growth list is FCi Federal, a government services company. Seven other Loudoun companies are also being featured for the second year in a row, including TSPi; Strongbridge; SMRC; Ian, Evan & Alexander; Paramount Business Jets and iQuasar. Knight Solutions also made an encore appearance.

“We congratulate Knight Solutions for their outstanding success. This is their second year on the list, and they’ve grown more than 1,000 percent each time,” noted the Chairman of the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors, Scott York. The company, which grew from $1.2 million in revenue in 2010 to more than $16 million in 2013, hires military veterans to renovate veteran-occupied cemeteries.

“We’re especially pleased that there are 12 companies on the list for the first time this year,” said Supervisor Matt Letourneau, chairman of the board’s Economic Development Committee. “The new companies on the list reflect the growing diversity of our economy, and come from a variety of sectors. The board has strived to create an environment in Loudoun where businesses can succeed, and we look forward to working with them as they continue to grow.”
