For nearly 15 years, Escalon has been committed to helping companies grow and thrive, and we’re incredibly humbled to be recognized once again for those efforts by Inc. magazine. The publication has listed Escalon Services as No. 1,778 on its annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. This marks a significant rise from 2019, when Escalon ranked 2,554th on the listing.

Founded in 2006, Escalon has experienced a 240 percent growth rate just over the last three years, leading to its high ranking by Inc. The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment — its independent small businesses. Intuit, Zappos, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.

“We are overwhelmed and humbled to have earned a place on Inc. magazine’s prestigious list for the third time in four years,” said Escalon CEO Anurag Pal. “The achievement represents our team’s commitment to providing companies across the world with our business-transforming Essential Business Services.”

Helping Small Businesses Weather the Storm

Escalon’s commitment to assisting small businesses as they scale has never been more urgently needed than in 2020, when entrepreneurs across the globe coped with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. From helping companies cut costs and safely operate remotely to assisting founders as they applied for Paycheck Protection Program loans, Escalon has been steadfast in its commitment to ensuring that small- and medium-sized businesses had all of the support they needed.

“Our work has never been more important than it is this year, when many businesses have struggled to mitigate the effects of the pandemic, and we are proud to stand side-by-side with our customers to help them find solutions that allow them to weather this storm,” Pal said.

Over the last year, Escalon has not only built fresh technological innovations for its Finance, Accounting, HR and Payroll verticals, but the firm has also expanded into new fields such as TechOps and Recruiting. Escalon has also increased its Insurance and Benefits capabilities to provide a seamless approach for all essential services that companies need.

As Escalon has proven time and time again over the past 14 years, the firm is listening to what businesses worldwide need from their partners, and we’re working to deliver those capabilities in the most efficient way possible. We are honored to be part of Inc. 5000’s latest list, and we are grateful for our customers’ support.
