FAQ
Costs
Do I have to pay to register?
No.
Do I have to pay to be included in the ranking?
Not at all. If included in the ranking, your company is free to celebrate its success via a press release, social media, or a company website. Only businesses that want to use the official seal featuring the FT and Statista logos with the title The Americas' Fastest-Growing Companies 2025 have to pay a licence fee, in a one-off payment. The seal will be available after publication of the ranking.

No. All those who apply and make it into the toplist are completely free to publicise this fact. The official seal The Americas' Fastest-Growing Companies 2025, available for a licence fee, is merely an additional option for those who want to advertise and promote their achievement in a more visually striking manner.
Is the creation of the FT ranking commissioned and paid for by customers?
No, this project has two revenue sources: revenues from licence fees, as outlined above, and advertisements in an ft.com/special-reports where the ranking will be published (in full online) alongside FT articles on company growth trends and profiles. The special report, to appear as part of the FT in print and online, is an independent piece of journalism written and commissioned by FT journalists, drawing where relevant on the data collected for the ranking.

Methodology
On what criteria is the ranking of the top companies in the FT ranking determined?
The ranking is determined by the growth in revenue between the years 2020 and 2023.
How will Statista calculate the average growth in revenue of a company?
We use the compound annual growth rate. For example, if a company achieved total revenue of 1.5m EUR in 2019 and total revenue of 7.5m USD in 2022, we calculate an average yearly increase of 71%.
The fiscal year of my company does not coincide with the calendar year. However, the survey and the form ask for the total revenue for the calendar years of 2020 and 2023. Which revenue information should I provide?
Please provide the revenue details for the fiscal years which fall predominantly in the calendar years of 2020 and 2023. For example if your company’s fiscal year is from 01/04/2022 to 31/03/2023, this fiscal year falls mainly in 2023, so use this for 2023 revenues. If your company’s fiscal year is from 01/10/2020 to 30/09/2023, this fiscal year falls mainly in 2023 as well, so use this for 2023 revenues.
Which definition of revenue will be observed in the FT list?
Net revenue adjusted for returns, excluding value added tax and derived solely from business activities (excluding any other operating income) as disclosed in your company report.
Are further key data, such as profitability, relevant for the FT ranking?
The ranking will be published in April 2024.
Publication
When will The Americas' Fastest-Growing Companies 2025 ranking be published?
The following information will be released about the top companies: the company name, the average growth in revenue and the total revenue for the years of 2020 and 2023, the number of employees in 2020 and 2023, the founding date of the company, the URL of the company website, as well as the location of the head office.
Which information concerning individual companies will be published by Financial Times?
The results of our research will be published in the Financial Times and outside the paywall of FT.com so that the findings can be read and shared by everybody. In advance of this, the successful companies will be informed by post of their inclusion in the list.
