Businesses are ranked according to percentage revenue growth. The 2025 Fast 50 and Master of Growth rankings and full indices will be revealed at our national celebration on 27 November.

The process is quick and straightforward! Simply complete our online entry form and submit your independently prepared financial statements for FY23 and FY25 (Fast 50) or FY21 and FY25 (Master of Growth). After you’ve entered, we’ll visit your business for a face-to-face meeting to help us better understand your business and how you’re achieving such great results. The information we gather from this meeting is collated anonymously and used to identify trends and develop insights regarding the successes and challenges that New Zealand businesses are facing.
