Hello!

I’m Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief at Inc. Having covered the entrepreneurial ecosystem for decades, our team at Inc. knows that business success comes in many forms. Sometimes, it’s a breakthrough for your industry. Other times, it’s a smaller but equally meaningful win: a smart pivot, a creative collaboration, or the steady strengthening of your brand’s community.

Our Best in Business Awards were created to honor these wins, big and small. Each year, our editorial team looks forward to discovering stories of ingenuity, resilience, and leadership that inspire our readers and set a standard for what it means to build a great business today.

The final deadline to apply is this Friday, September 12, at 11:59 p.m. PT. Honorees will be featured in the Winter 2025 issue of Inc. magazine and on Inc.com, with a dedicated company profile that showcases your success to our audience of business leaders.

If your company has an achievement worth celebrating, I encourage you to share it with us. Start your application today.

Warm regards,
Mike Hofman
Editor-in-Chief, Inc.
