Simploy Named in the 2026 Inc. 5000 for the First Time

ST. LOUIS, Mo. — Aug. 26, 2026 — Simploy, a professional employer organization (PEO) providing payroll, human resources, employee benefits and risk management services to small and mid-sized businesses, has been named to the 2026 Inc. 5000, Inc. magazine’s annual ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. It is the company’s first appearance on the list.

The recognition follows several years of expansion in Simploy’s client base and in the team, technology and services behind it, and marks a new era of growth for the company — one Simploy has prepared for while holding to the standard of service its clients expect.

“Employing people gets harder every year — the rules, the costs, what a workforce expects — and none of that is going to reverse,” said Carson King, Chief Executive Officer of Simploy. “Our job is to absorb it and create solutions, so that it never becomes the reason a good business stops growing or competing. That’s the company we’re building, and there’s a lot more of it to build.”

Through a co-employment partnership, Simploy gives small and mid-sized employers the payroll infrastructure, benefits buying power and risk management support that would otherwise be available only to much larger organizations, allowing an owner to add headcount and expand operations without building an HR department to match.

To qualify for the 2026 Inc. 5000, companies must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit and independent — not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies — as of December 31, 2025, and must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2022.

Since 1982, the Inc. 5000 has tracked and ranked the fastest-growing privately held businesses in the U.S. Inc. is published by Mansueto Ventures LLC. Learn more at www.inc.com.
