Terri Lonier at Working Solo eNews:

The Inc. 500 list has just been published, and every year I find it intriguing to chart how many firms are SOHO (small office/home office) companies — generally defined as having 20 or fewer employees.

This year, nearly one in four (23%, or 115 companies)are members of the SOHO ranks. Remarkably, there’s even a soloist who made the Inc. 500 list at #121 — Jim Fairchild, an environmental consultant in Elgin, Illinois.

This year Inc. also expanded the list online to the top 5,000 fastest-growing private companies. Eleven of these are one-person firms, although this may increase as more soloists apply in future years.
