Carolina Advanced Digital ranked 29th in the Triangle market and 167th in the South.
This is the first year that Business Leader Media ranked small businesses as a whole over nine Southern markets (Triangle, Triad, Charlotte, Atlanta, Nashville, Memphis, Jacksonville, Tampa and Miami) and within each market. Previously, the awards were divided by state; Carolina Advanced Digital ranked in the Top 100 Small Businesses of North Carolina for the past three years. This year, the Triangle has 59 of the top 300 small businesses in the South, the most out of all the markets.
To qualify, a business must employ fewer than 100 full-time employees, generate more than half of its sales in its market and have been in business for at least five years. Winners were selected by a panel of peers based on three criteria: revenue growth, business achievement and community achievement.
