98% growth propels national commercial insurance carrier onto prestigious ranking for the first time

CLEARWATER, Fla., Aug. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Frank Winston Crum Insurance (FWCI), a leading provider of commercial insurance solutions, today announced it has been named to the 2025 Inc. 5000 list, Inc. magazine's annual ranking of the fastest-growing privately held companies in the United States. FWCI earned its 61st ranking in the insurance industry and 3,626^th overall, with impressive 98% revenue growth from 2021 to 2024, marking a major milestone in the company's 20-year journey from startup to national carrier.

"This recognition from Inc. validates our belief that growth follows when you put agents first," said Matt Crum, President of FWCI. "We've focused on building strong relationships, offering flexible underwriting, and creating technology that simplifies the insurance experience. It's a recipe that works."

The Inc. 5000 list provides a data-driven snapshot of the most successful companies within the economy's most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Past honorees include companies such as Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Under Armour, Timberland, Oracle, and Patagonia. This year's Inc. 5000 honorees have demonstrated exceptional growth while navigating economic uncertainty, inflationary pressure, and a fluctuating labor market. 

"Making the Inc. 5000 is always a remarkable achievement, but earning a spot this year speaks volumes about a company's tenacity and clarity of vision," says Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. "These businesses have thrived amid rising costs, shifting global dynamics, and constant change. They didn't just weather the storm—they grew through it, and their stories are a powerful reminder that the entrepreneurial spirit is the engine of the U.S. economy."

FWCI operates across the U.S., providing workers' compensation, general liability, excess liability, and inland marine coverage through a curated network of independent agents. The company recently completed a full transformation of its agent platform and is preparing to launch a new Commercial Package offering in 2025, expanding its footprint while continuing to challenge the industry status quo.

"Being named to the Inc. 5000 is more than a growth metric. It's a reflection of our people and a motivator for what's next," says Crum. "We're excited to expand our offerings and continue delivering value to our agents and policyholders."
