About the Deloitte Fast 50
The Deloitte Fast 50 index has been celebrating business growth in New Zealand since 2001. The Fast 50 is a Deloitte initiative which operates in 32 countries or regions worldwide. The Deloitte Fast 50 index has become a barometer of successful, innovative businesses across the country.
Entries to the index are compiled through a combination of Deloitte research, public nominations, and businesses stepping up to be benchmarked. Businesses that choose to enter and meet the entry criteria are then ranked according to their percentage revenue growth. The 50 businesses with the highest percentage growth will make up the 2011 Deloitte Fast 50.

How growth is calculated
The index measures the percentage increase in annual revenues from normal trading operations.
We calculate revenue growth as follows:
| % revenue growth = | Final year revenue (10/11) – Base year revenue (08/09) |
| Base year revenue (08/09) |
Revenue figures are NOT published nor made publicly available. All information is confidentially held by Deloitte. However, these figures are required to calculate revenue growth.
