ST. LOUIS, Aug. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Inc. magazine today revealed that ACERTUS has been named on its annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent small businesses. ACERTUS, a finished vehicle Logistics as a Service (LaaS) platform, is recognized for its revenue growth.
“We are honored and humbled to be included on this prestigious list of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies for a third consecutive year,” said Trent Broberg, CEO of ACERTUS. “This demonstrates our unwavering commitment to excellence as we navigated some of the toughest challenges our company and the industry has ever faced. A global pandemic, capacity constraints, inventory and parts shortages and natural disasters were just some of the many roadblocks; however, our team remained steadfast and focused on innovation and driving the future of automotive logistics. This milestone is especially meaningful this year and would not be possible without our loyal customers, carriers, drivers, frontline workers and incredibly talented team.”
ACERTUS is a leader in automotive logistics and provides technology to deliver complete, end-to-end solutions throughout the lifecycle of a vehicle including vehicle transport, vehicle home delivery, title and registration, storage, care and maintenance, compliance services and more. Its drive to continually elevate the industry standard is exemplified by its continued growth.
Not only have the companies on the 2021 Inc. 5000 been very competitive within their markets, but this year’s list also proved especially resilient and flexible given 2020’s unprecedented challenges. Among the 5,000, the average median three-year growth rate soared to 543 percent, and median revenue reached $11.1 million. Together, those companies added more than 610,000 jobs over the past three years.
Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000. The top 500 companies are featured in the September issue of Inc., which will be available on newsstands on August 20.
“The 2021 Inc. 5000 list feels like one of the most important rosters of companies ever compiled,” says Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc. “Building one of the fastest-growing companies in America in any year is a remarkable achievement. Building one in the crisis we’ve lived through is just plain amazing. This kind of accomplishment comes with hard work, smart pivots, great leadership, and the help of a whole lot of people.”

Methodology
Companies on the 2021 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2017 to 2020. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2017. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2020. (Since then, some on the list may have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2017 is $100,000; the minimum for 2020 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Growth rates used to determine company rankings were calculated to three decimal places.
