PayLease, Inc., an online service provider that streamlines the process of lease collection, today announced they have been named to the prominent Inc. 500 list for the first time. PayLease ranked 494^th on the list of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. The list represents the most comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy—America’s independent-minded entrepreneurs. In addition to the Inc. 500 recognition, PayLease ranked in the 2010 Red Herring 100 in North America and the San Diego Business Journal’s annual list of Fastest Growing Private Companies.

PayLease is a payment processing company with a specific target market in the property management industry including residential, homeowner association and commercial management clients. The company currently processes payments for over 1,100 property management companies throughout the US ranging in unit size from 100 to over 1.2 million units while maintaining 95 percent client retention.

We are proud to share our accomplishments with the business community and look forward to continued success.”

The 2010 Inc. 500 is ranked according to percentage revenue growth when comparing 2006 to 2009. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by June 30, 2006. Additionally, they had to be U.S.-based, privately held, for profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2009.
