Quick Bridge Funding ranked fifth on the Inc. 5000, an annual list of America’s fastest-growing private companies. Quick Bridge achieved its rank by attaining a three-year growth rate of 24,138% and 2014 revenue of $44.6 million.

In addition, Quick Bridge ranked second out of the 247 other top financial services firms on the Inc. 5000 list. Based in Irvine, CA, the alternative lending firm ranked third out of 277 Los Angeles Metro area firms and fifth out of the 681 Inc. 5000 companies based in California.

According to Inc., firms must be U.S.-based and privately owned to qualify for inclusion. Revenue requirements for the newly released ranking were at least $100,000 in 2011 and at least $2 million last year.

“We’re thrilled to be in the top five of the Inc. 5000,” said vice president Jason Osiecki. “A combination of well-versed business-to-business lending experience and strong capitalization has helped us grow fast, but not too fast. Achieving the No. 5 position on the Inc. 500 is a distinct honor, but more importantly, it is an inspiration to drive further excellence throughout every aspect of our business.”
