“Business Gazelles” is the most popular and oldest list of the most dynamically developing small and medium sized companies. It is implemented by economic dailies belonging to the Bonnier Publishing Group. In Poland, the ranking has been prepared by the daily “Puls Biznesu” continuously since 2000.
Verification of data, such as profitability, growth, transparency, reported by entrepreneurs have been conducted by Coface Poland business intelligence analysts. The scope of the analysis is always the past three business years.
The ‘Business Gazelle’ is a title associated with prestige and, at the same time, is a great and important recommendation in business for existing and new contractors. The award reflects the good reputation and credibility of enterprises, which, thanks to their extremely dynamic development, manage perfectly even among much larger competitors.
