OBJ is seeking companies headquartered in the National Capital Region that have demonstrated substantial revenue growth over the past three years. It doesn’t matter what industry the company is in or whether it’s a startup or a long-standing business.
Applicants will be ranked by percentage of revenue growth between year one and year three of their most recent three-year fiscal period. To qualify, the company must have completed three fiscal years with financial statements that have been subject to a review engagement or formal audit.
In year one, companies must have had revenues of at least $100,000. In year three, revenues must have risen to at least $500,000. If the company is not profitable by the third year, applicants will be asked to briefly explain how the firm will be sustainable.
The companies that make the top-10 list will be profiled in the spring issue of OBJ and honoured at a virtual celebration.

The deadline for applications is March 5. If you have further questions, please email OBJ editor David Sali at david@obj.ca.
