1 Information from Inc. magazine. NA - Not Available Note: Due to the right of privately held companies to withhold information, the Business Journal makes no pretense of this being a complete list. Information on this list was provided by representatives of the companies themselves. Companies are ranked by their percentage growth from 2016 to 2018. Revenue figures have

been rounded. In order to qualify for the list, a company must be privately held, for-profit, headquartered in L.A. County, in business as of Jan. 1, 2016, and not be a division or subsidiary of another company. They are also required to have at least $5 million in 2018 revenue. Law firms, banks and private equity firms were excluded because they do not report revenue in a conventional manner.
