More than two dozen companies in the region have been recognized as some of the fastest-growing in the southeastern United States, based on revenue. From Naples to Tampa, 30 companies made the 2025 Inc. Regionals list for the Southeast, including a Manatee County firm that landed the No. 2 spot among nearly 200 companies.
The business publication reports it compiled its list of the fastest-growing companies in the Southeast using revenue figures from 2021 to 2023 to recognize those “making impressive gains in growth and revenue." It defined the Southeast as Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina and Tennessee.
Sanderson Firm PLLC of Bradenton was named the second fastest-growing company of 192 in the Southeast by Inc.
The Bradenton-based law firm grew by 2,471% between 2021 and 2023, according to the publication. Headquartered on 3rd St. W., it provides Medicare Secondary Payer compliance services to insurance carriers, self-insured companies, third-party administrators and governmental entities.
“The growth that we have achieved is something I could have never imagined,” Sanderson Firm CEO Heather Sanderson says in a statement. “I am grateful for the support of the Medicare Secondary Payer industry, our nationwide client base, as well as our excellent team members for helping us achieve this milestone.”
To make the 2025 Inc. Regionals list, companies must be privately held and not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies. Companies also had to generate at least $100,000 in revenue in 2021 and at least $1 million in 2023. The list ranks companies according to the percentage revenue growth over the last two years. Editors also interviewed the businesses that applied.
Companies that ranked among the 192 fastest-growing in the Southeast in the region include:
In all, Inc. recognized 951 companies nationwide on its 2025 regional lists. They cover seven regions: Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, Northeast, Pacific, Southwest, Rocky Mountain and Midwest.
