IRVINE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Today, Inc. revealed that American Lending Center (under American Lending Center Holdings (ALC)) and its sister company Sunstone Management are ranked No. 935 and No. 4,167, respectively, on its annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The list represents a one-of-a-kind look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent businesses. Facebook, Chobani, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.

Leading non-bank lending institution ALC had a revenue growth rate of 685.69% while sister company Sunstone Management, a diversified private capital management and investment firm, grew 112%. ALC came in at No. 147 in California, No. 66 in Financial Services, and No. 57 in Los Angeles. Sunstone landed at No. 593 in California, No. 278 in Financial Services, and No. 250 in Los Angeles.

“We’re honored to have been named to this notable list for the third year in a row,” said John Shen, accomplished financial services entrepreneur and founder of the two companies. “ALC and Sunstone’s work to support U.S.-based small businesses is more important than ever, and we are excited to see our efforts grow alongside our southern California community.”

The companies on the 2022 Inc. 5000 have not only been successful, but have also demonstrated resilience amid supply chain woes, labor shortages, and the ongoing impact of Covid-19. Among the top 500, the average median three-year revenue growth rate soared to 2,144 percent. Together, those companies added more than 68,394 jobs over the past three years.
