Laughlin Associates Named One of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies

More than five decades of experience, continued growth and a commitment to giving small business owners the support they deserve.

CARSON CITY, NV, UNITED STATES, September 1, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Laughlin Associates, Inc., a business formation and corporate compliance company serving entrepreneurs and small business owners nationwide, has been named to the 2026 Inc. 5000, the annual ranking of America’s fastest-growing private companies.

The recognition marks another milestone for Laughlin Associates, which was founded in 1972 and has spent more than five decades working alongside entrepreneurs and privately held businesses across the United States.

Laughlin Associates achieved 59% revenue growth during the three-year Inc. 5000 measurement period, earning its place among this year’s honorees.

“Being named to the Inc. 5000 is an incredible recognition of our team, our clients and the work we’ve done to continue evolving as a company,” said Aaron Scott Young, CEO of Laughlin Associates. “For more than five decades, we’ve had the privilege of working with entrepreneurs who are willing to take risks, create opportunities and build something of their own. Our responsibility is to meet those business owners where they are and give them the support, education and resources they need to keep moving forward.”

More Than Business Formation

Laughlin Associates began helping entrepreneurs establish businesses in 1972. Today, the company provides business entity formation, registered agent services, corporate compliance support and ongoing services designed to help business owners properly maintain their corporations and limited liability companies.

At the center of Laughlin’s philosophy is a simple principle: forming the business is only the beginning.

While establishing an LLC or corporation creates the business structure, maintaining that structure requires ongoing attention. Corporate records, annual minutes, resolutions and documentation of important business decisions can all play a role in demonstrating that a company is being operated as a legitimate entity separate from its owners.

Through its Corporate Veil Protection Service (CVPS) and other business support services, Laughlin Associates works with clients beyond the initial formation of their companies, helping them understand and address many of the ongoing responsibilities associated with maintaining their business entities.

“Small business owners don’t all start in the same place, and they certainly don’t all need the same thing,” Young said. “One entrepreneur may be forming their first LLC. Another may own several companies, employ a team, invest in real estate or be thinking about what they want to leave to the next generation. We want to meet people where they are and help them build the foundation for where they want to go.”

That commitment to ongoing support has become an important part of what differentiates Laughlin Associates in an increasingly transactional business formation industry.

“We believe small business owners deserve more than a filing service,” Young added. “They deserve knowledgeable people who will answer their questions, help them understand their options and continue supporting them after their company is formed. Entrepreneurs put an enormous amount of themselves into building a business. They deserve a team that respects that and wants to see them succeed.”

More Than Five Decades — and Still Evolving

Laughlin Associates’ inclusion on the 2026 Inc. 5000 reflects both the company’s history and its continued evolution.

Since its founding in 1972, the needs of small business owners have changed dramatically. Technology has transformed how businesses are created and operated, entrepreneurs have access to more information and opportunities than ever before, and forming a business entity has become increasingly accessible.

Laughlin Associates has evolved with those changes while maintaining its focus on the relationship that comes after the formation.

Today, the company continues to expand the education, resources and support available to business owners at different stages of their entrepreneurial journey.

For Laughlin Associates, the Inc. 5000 recognition represents more than a measure of revenue growth. It reinforces a philosophy that has guided the company for decades: continue evolving, stay close to the needs of entrepreneurs and give small business owners the support they deserve to build businesses designed to last.

Laughlin Associates is officially ranked No. 4,037 on the 2026 Inc. 5000, with 59% three-year revenue growth, and is recognized by Inc. in the Business & Corporate Services industry.
