Ten South Dakota companies rank among the nation’s fastest-growing businesses, according to the annual Inc. 5000 list.

It’s the 44th year that Inc. 5000 has ranked private companies based on three-year revenue growth.

Last year, 12 South Dakota companies made the list.

Companies must apply to qualify for the list and have been generating revenue by March 31, 2021, and be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit and independent — not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies — as of Dec. 31, 2024. The minimum revenue required for 2020 is $100,000; the minimum for 2024 is $2 million.

South Dakota companies making the list are:

• No. 427: Phase 3, Sioux Falls, 955 percent growth. Payments processing firm using technology to help its business clients optimize operations.

For MarketBeat, it marks a rare 10th appearance on the list. Fewer than 1 percent of companies on the list achieve a decade-long streak.

“Ten straight years on the Inc. 5000 proves that consistency compounds,” said Matt Paulson, founder and CEO. “We keep showing up, measuring what works and doubling down on our proven growth strategies. What makes this recognition meaningful is that it reflects long-term momentum, not just a lucky year. We’re building a business that lasts, not just one that grows fast.”
