BIRMINGHAM, Ala., March 14, 2023 – Southern Veterinary Partners is pleased to announce its ranking as the 88th fastest growing private company on the Inc. 5000 Regionals: Southeast list. This confirms SVP’s placement for the second year in a row as one of the fastest-growing private companies in the Southeast (Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, and Tennessee). Born of the annual Inc. 5000 franchise, this regional list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the Southeast economy’s most dynamic segment–its independent small businesses.

“This award is a testament to the hard work, dedication and contributions of every teammate at SVP.  I am proud to lead such a talented group of individuals,” said Jay Price, DVM and CEO of Southern Veterinary Partners. “While this award is an honor, our focus remains the same – to deliver personalized medicine with exceptional hospitality to pets and their families.”
The companies on this list show a remarkable rate of growth across all industries in the Southeast region. Between 2019 and 2021, the companies on this list had an average growth rate of 673 percent.  In 2021 alone, they added 25,844 jobs and nearly $7 billion to the Southeast region’s economy. SVP’s own two-year revenue growth is an impressive 218%.    
 “This year’s Inc. 5000 Regional winners represent one of the most exceptional and exciting lists of America’s off-the-charts growth companies. They’re disrupters and job creators, and all delivered an outsize impact on the economy. Remember their names and follow their lead. These are the companies you’ll be hearing about for years to come,” said Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc. magazine.
