The [Sunday Times Top Track 250 league table](http://www.fasttrack.co.uk/league-tables/top-track-250/)
has recently been published, ranking Britain’s top-performing private mid-market
growth companies by sales. It is the sister publication of Top Track 100, which 
lists Britain’s 100 private companies with the biggest sales.

To qualify for the Top Track 250 list, companies are required to have a profit margin
of more than 2% in their most recent financial period.

Companies considered illegible for the list include quoted companies, subsidiaries,
joint venture and consortium organisations, not-for-profit companies, co-operative
societies, mutual societies, housing associations, and partnership structures.

 * **89** companies are majority-owned by entrepreneurs or founders.
 * **59** companies on the Top Track 250 are family-owned.
 * **12** companies are majority-owned by management.
 * **Three** companies are majority-owned by their employees.
 * **87** companies are majority-owned by private-equity firms.

As private ownership of so many companies is included in the list, it will also 
be useful for major donor fundraisers.
