May 31, 2011 –eBridge Inc., a Tampa-based provider of hosted document management solutions for small and medium-sized businesses, was recently named one of the Top 300 Small Businesses of the South by Business Leader Media.

The annual competition, now in its fourth year, seeks nominations for the best small businesses in Tampa and eight additional Southern regions – Triangle, Nashville, Triad, Charlotte, Jacksonville, Atlanta, Miami and Memphis. To qualify, companies must employ fewer than 100 employees, generate a significant portion of its business locally, and have been in business for five or more years.

Winners are chosen based on three main categories: revenue growth, business achievement, and community achievement. For revenue growth, Business Leader looks at both one- and five-year revenue growth. Business achievement includes the number of years in business, the number of current employees, the company’s impact on local economy and any industry-specific honors and awards the nominated companies may have received in the past.

Revenue growth and business achievement account for 40% of a nominees’ score; community achievement comprises an additional 20%.

eBridge has been honored to receive several awards recognizing its growth and dedication to employees and the local community. For the second year in a row, they ranked as one of Tampa’s Best Places to Work by the Tampa Bay Business Journal, and has been listed in TBBJ’s Fast 50 since 2009, as well as the Inc. 5000.
