Now in its 18th year, the Fast50 remains the only Australian awards program that ranks IT channel companies purely on revenue growth. It celebrates those who’ve outpaced the market and delivered impressive year-on-year results – whether they’re a $2 million IT channel partner or a $200 million enterprise powerhouse.
By adhering to a strictly numbers-based formula, we have ensured that the Fast50 continues to earn respect and recognition as the only awards program in the Australian technology industry that truly recognises the best businesses based on hard numbers.
The Fast50 Awards 2025 will be presented at a gala dinner and growth conference on the 19th November at the W Hotel, Sydney.
What’s New in 2025?
To provide more equitable benchmarking, the Fast50 is now structured into five revenue-based categories. That means you’ll be ranked against companies of similar size – creating a clearer picture of performance and a level playing field for all.
Even better? The Top Ten companies will be awarded in each bracket, bringing the total to 50 winners – the Fast50.

Nominations for the 2025 Fast50 will be accepted until 5pm Thursday 28th August 2025. Companies will be contacted in September.
Companies that do not produce supporting documentation, verifying substantiation of claimed FY2024 and FY2025 net sales by 5pm Thursday 28th August 2025 will be removed from consideration of the list.
Please note that we reserve the right to extend the closing date as required. In such case the new date will be publicly announced.
The ranking will be done solely on the basis of the percentage growth of the net sales revenue from financial years FY24 and FY25. We will calculate the percentage growth rate for this period. Refer to Q17 to see how percentage growth is calculated.
Your company must meet each of the following four criteria;
Vendors and distributors/marketplaces are NOT eligible for the list.
When you apply for the Fast50, you must submit:
Please email all supporting documentation to fast50@techpartner.news with words "Fast50" clearly included in email subject line.
Supporting documentation must be provided within one week of the online submission deadline; otherwise submission will be removed from consideration of the list.
No. The ranking will be based solely on revenue growth, not the degree of profitability.
No. The ranking is done solely on the revenue growth.
As long as your company is independent and meets the other criteria listed above, it does not matter how it is structured.
Then you are not eligible for the list unless your company was acquired after 30 June, 2025, in which case the parent company should enter, or see Q10 below for details on entering as a subsidiary.
You are eligible to enter. We will ask you to provide details on any M&A and the impact it had on your company's revenue growth. We reserve the right to request further documentation to confirm the M&A has been fully completed within the appropriate period. Your entry may be ineligible if the revenue attained from acquisition/s was larger than the existing company's total prior year revenue.
Then you are still eligible for the list, but please make sure that your net sales revenue figures reflect only the net sales revenue of your division, not the entire company. In this case, you must supply sales revenue documentation from an independent accountant; internal sales figures are not acceptable.
Then you are not eligible for this year’s list, although you may be eligible for future lists. Your company must have been trading from 1 July, 2023, so that we have a full year’s worth of sales revenue for FY23-24 to use as the base for calculating revenue growth rates. Partial-year revenues are not acceptable.
Your company is not eligible for the list. This minimum level of sales will strictly be adhered to.
If you are a private, unlisted company, ASIC may define your company as a "Large Company" — click here for definition — in which case you may be asked to submit an ASIC financial report.
Please fill out the application with your new name, followed by the previous company name in parentheses, followed by the financial year of change. Example: "Bill's MSP PTY LTD (William's MSP PTY LTD, FY24)"
Then you must only use the sales data from the time periods that correspond to the Australian FY — 1 July 2023-30 June 2024 will be compared to 1 July 2024-June 30 2025.
Adjust your net sales revenue figures to reflect periods for FY24 and FY25 in order to fill out the application. When you submit supporting documentation, it must include all relevant periods.
No. Before filling out the application, you must convert your net sales revenue figures to an accrual basis. To convert cash to accrual, start with cash receipts, subtract the beginning accounts receivable, and add ending accounts receivable.
We will publish a list all companies that places in the 2025 Fast50 later in the year on our website. You can see the 2024 Fast50 finalists here.
The list of the fastest-growing companies will be published in order of rank and the results will include any or all data submitted in the online entry, including revenue figures provided.
We divide FY2025 net sales revenue by FY2024 net sales revenue, subtract 1 and multiply the result by 100.
For example, say FY2025 net sales revenue totalled $10 million and FY2024 net sales revenue totalled $5 million.
$10,000,000/$5,000,000=2
2-1=1
1x100=100
Growth is 100%.
Your sales figures will be made public for the financial years relevant to the submission.
Every year we poll our entrants and they are overwhelmingly positive about entering the Fast50. None have reported a negative experience with being published in the Fast50.
In fact, past entrants often tell us about many benefits that appearing in the Fast50 had in terms of raising their profile among other resellers, vendors and distributors.
