According to the AFR, eligibility for the Fast 100 is based on a business that has started trading on or before July 2015, generating at least $500,000 in turnover during 2015-2016 financial year, and must show four full years of revenue data. They are then ranked according to compound annual growth rate achieved during that time frame.
For a Fast Starter, it comes down to the age of the business, having started to trade after July 2015 and achieving more than $500,000 turnover during 2018-2019 financial year; supplying at least two year’s worth of full revenue data.
They are then ranked on revenue during 2018-2019, not according to growth rate.
