Welcome to the South Florida Business Journal’s first Fastest-Growing Companies special report. In a still-bumpy economy, we hope these companies will help provide inspiration to the region’s businesses in general.

We turned to Research Director Amy Limbert to come up with the 50 fastest-growing companies in the region.

When we were brainstorming ideas for the section, we decided to invite leaders of these companies to submit their suggestions on how to grow rapidly. We figured those who have experienced rapid growth would have some great ideas to share.

Many of these companies are familiar to regular readers, but we’ve also included additional information on some less-familiar names and others who were standouts among their revenue peers.

One caveat, though: The list is purely driven by revenue, and not necessarily a reflection of company profitability. Consider this the busiuness equvalent of muscle cars racing down the highway.

To grow fast and well, define a niche and relentlessly focus on delivering value. Also, be true to your company culture. A culture cannot be built, but must be cultivated carefully over time. Disrupting it in exchange for rapid growth can cripple your company. Pitfalls to avoid? Don’t assume you’ll easily find the right talent for your company. Define a profile – not a job description – of who can make your organization succeed, and go after them. When you have the right people on the bus, everything else falls into place.
