APA founder, Bob Sproul agrees, “We’ve kept a personal touch while keeping pace with the constantly evolving retail industry.”

Asset Protection Associates, Inc. was incorporated in 1991 as a full service security company providing nationwide loss prevention resources for many of the nation's largest retailers. APA believes in providing professional, cost-effective security and investigative services to their clients. This principal has been the foundation of their success.

“If you want to find out which companies are going to change the world, look at the Inc. 500,” said Inc. Editor Jane Berentson.  “These are the most innovative, dynamic, fast-growth companies in the nation, the ones coming up with solutions to some of our most intractable ills, creating systems that let us conduct business faster and easier, and manufacturing products we soon discover we can’t live without. The Inc. 500 list is Inc. magazine’s tribute to American business ingenuity and ambition.”

The 2006 Inc. 500 list measures revenue growth from 2002 through 2005.  To qualify, companies had to be U.S.-based, privately held independent – not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies – as of December 31, 2005, and have, and have at least $600,000 in net sales in the base year.
