CHICAGO — September 1, 2006 — SurePayroll, the nation's leading online payroll provider, was ranked 194 on the prestigious Inc. 500 list of fastest-growing U.S. companies. SurePayroll was one of only 200 companies to make the list for two consecutive years.
The Inc. 500, modeled after the Fortune 500, measured revenue growth between 2002 and 2005 to determine this year's honorees. Companies must be independent, U.S.-based and privately held.
Founded in 1999, SurePayroll was the first to market an online payroll processing service, and now services over 17,000 small businesses nationwide. Since its inception, the company has processed over 1 million payrolls. SurePayroll has achieved over 610% sales growth in the past 3 years. This year, SurePayroll was the 4th fastest-growing company in Illinois — 15 Illinois companies made the list.
"It's an incredible honor to make the list 2 years in a row," said SurePayroll President Michael Alter. "We're experiencing unprecedented growth — not only in terms of revenue, but in terms of hiring and expanding our service to make payroll processing even easier for our customers. I credit much of our success to the fact that we listen to our customers, and update our service and technology in response to their requests."
In 1999, SurePayroll was founded with 4 employees. Since 2002, they have doubled in size, and now have close to 100 employees. In August 2006, the company moved its corporate headquarters from Skokie, IL to Glenview, IL, more than doubling its office space to accommodate the current staff and in anticipation of further hiring.
The full Inc. 500 issue, which details SurePayroll's success, hit newsstands on September 1, and will be available online at www.inc.com on September 19.
