Three Detroit area firms break into Top 50 list of women-led businesses

The Women Presidents' Organization has released its list of the Top 50 fastest growing women-led businesses, and three are in Metro-Detroit. These women have evaded the glass ceiling, barriers to financing, yadda, yadda, and are also breaking the stereotype that women are only interested in small lifestyle businesses.

Excerpt:

"...Women Presidents' Organization, a peer-advisory group for multimillion-dollar women-owned businesses, determined the Top 50 Fastest-Growing Women-Led Companies using a formula that combines percentage revenue growth and absolute growth. To be eligible for the list, companies must be privately owned, women-owned or led, and have generated at least $500,000 in annual revenue in 2006 and $2 million by year-end 2010, among other criteria. About 375 companies applied for inclusion on the list."
