Business : Inc. Names Clickstop to Its 2026 List of the Fastest-Growing Private Companies

Inc., the leading media brand for entrepreneurs and business leaders, today revealed that Clickstop has been ranked No. 138 on its sixth annual Inc. Regionals: Midwest list. This prestigious ranking identifies the fastest-growing privately held companies in the 12-state Midwest region, recognizing the independent businesses driving the backbone of the American economy.

The recognition comes at a milestone moment for the Urbana-based company. Clickstop’s appearance on the Inc. list for a third time serves as a data-driven validation of the explosive growth the company has experienced in the past few years. Between 2022 and 2024, the 144 companies on the Midwest list demonstrated exceptional resilience, achieving a median growth rate of 69 percent.

“Our growth is the direct result of discipline,” said Tim Guenther, Founder & CEO of Clickstop. “For two decades, we’ve focused on empowering our team, scaling profitably, and getting our customers what they want, when they need it. We look for top talent with a high ceiling because when you align high-growth people with a high-growth strategy, both win. It’s a relationship built on shared purpose.”

The 2026 Inc. Regionals companies collectively added 8,171 jobs and $5.2 billion to the Midwest economy. Clickstop’s contribution to this growth is fueled by its diverse portfolio of eCommerce brands, including flagship brand US Cargo Control, all managed under a unique employee-ownership (ESOP) structure.

“The honorees on this year’s Inc. Regionals list achieved exceptional growth at a time when the odds were against them,” said Bonny Ghosh, editorial director at Inc. “They didn't just persevere – they innovated, adapted, and thrived. Their resilience made them standouts in their industries and true growth engines in their regions.”
