Fast 50 2025: Barrier breakers

Is your business redefining fast growth?

We’re looking for Kiwi businesses that are breaking through barriers to shape what’s possible.

Future makers

This year we’re celebrating 25 years of the Fast 50. That’s 25 years of recognising epic Kiwi businesses and entrepreneurs who have innovated through challenges, disrupted industries and redefined fast growth.

In 2025, the Deloitte Fast 50 will once again celebrate and rank New Zealand’s fastest growing businesses across our Fast 50 and Master of Growth indices.

Entries are open from 22 July to 29 August.

Regional celebrations announcing this year’s regional category winners and those businesses that have made it to the indices will be held across the country on 29 October, ahead of the full indices announcements on 27 November.

Being part of the Fast 50 programme gives your business:

  • Association with the Fast 50 brand – an internationally-recognised award programme 
  • Invitations to Fast 50 events
  • The opportunity to network and build relationships with like-minded business owners and leaders from a range of sectors and industries 
  • Profile raising opportunities through our digital, billboard, and media campaigns 

...and if you needed another reason, our celebrations are a chance for you to take stock of your achievements, think about where you want to go next, and celebrate your success!

The Fast 50 index recognises businesses demonstrating significant growth over the last three years. To enter, you need revenue of $1M or above in FY23 and independently prepared financial statements for FY23 and FY25.

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.
