Meet OBJs 2022 Golden 100 Central FLs top private companies

Today, we reveal to you the first 25 of Orlando Business Journal’s 2022 Golden 100, Central Florida’s largest privately held companies.

As Central Florida rebuilds its economy during this recovery period from the Covid-19 pandemic, these companies — many of which are legacy businesses — have proven their ability to withstand economic crises time and time again. Additionally, newer companies are proving they have what it takes to compete in this new, sometimes uncertain business environment. This year’s list of top local privately held companies — ranked by most recent year-end revenue — represents a variety of industries, including automotive, construction, real estate, restaurants, technology, hospitality and manufacturing. These rankings also include family-, minority-, women- and veteran-owned businesses.

Information for the Golden 100 list was supplied by individual companies through surveys, and not all local companies responded to our inquiries.

To qualify, companies must be physically headquartered in Orange, Seminole, Osceola or Lake counties; be willing to allow OBJ to publish their annual revenue; be at least 51% privately-owned and operated; cannot be a subsidiary of another company; and majority owners must reside in one of the four Central Florida counties. Companies with private equity partners owing more than 49% are not eligible.
