Arlington, VA, March 16, 2021 – Inc. magazine today revealed that Sehlke Consulting is No. 147 on its second annual Inc. 5000 Regionals: D.C. Metro list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing Washington, D.C., area-based private companies. Born of the annual Inc. 5000 franchise, this regional list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the D.C. area economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent small businesses.
CEO, Chad Sehlke quoted, “I continue to be proud of the outstanding support our employees provide to our clients across the federal government. We are looking forward to maintaining our growth pattern into the future and it is all due to the amazing team members of Sehlke Consulting.”
The companies on this list show stunning rates of growth across all industries in the Washington, D.C., region. Between 2017 and 2019, these 250 private companies had an average growth rate of 211 percent and, in 2019 alone, they employed more than 120,000 people and added nearly $15 billion to the D.C. area economy. Companies based in major metro areas—Baltimore, Maryland, the Washington, D.C. area, and Richmond, Virginia—brought in the highest revenue overall.
