Regions / Triad

2,541 private companies across the Triad.

Greensboro–High Point, Winston-Salem and Burlington, treated as one market because that is how the operators in it behave — 73 cities and towns across Guilford, Forsyth, Alamance, Davidson, Davie and Randolph.

It is the most industrial market in the Carolinas by share: 55% of the book, and 61% of everything above $10M in revenue.

Company City Trade Revenue Staff

Revenue and headcount are bands drawn from public classification data, not estimates of value. We publish no valuation, no multiple and no owner name. An owner who wants a listing corrected or removed can write to us and it is handled inside two business days.


Browse by city and trade

One list of several thousand names is a page nobody can use and Google will not rank. The market is cut into index pages instead — 41 of them for Triad — each one a phrase somebody actually searches, each with a floor so nothing thin gets published.
