The deadline for applications to be considered for this year's MegaGrowth 50 list has been extended.

Now in its 18th year, this impressive league table of businesses is published in the November edition of Kent Business and on this website.

In previous years the MegaGrowth 50 performance table has been put together based on the average turnover growth of privately owned businesses that have a minimum turnover of £1 million, as stipulated in full accounts registered at Companies House across the last four years.

Now businesses with notable turnover growth over recent years that do not register full accounts at Companies House will also be recognised.

But for those, applications must now be received by 5pm on Friday, June 14 after firms were given an extra week to submit their entries.

To do so, complete the application form online.

Successful applicants will be announced and celebrated at a special breakfast presentation event held at Turkey Mill, Maidstone.

If you have filed a full set of accounts at Companies House in each of the last four years you do not need to fill out an application form as your figures will be downloaded by the MegaGrowth 50 project team.

Firms see it as a major marketing tool and staff morale booster to make the list and benefit from the publicity it generates.
