Proforma
Gregory P. Muzzillo founded Proforma in 1978 with a college friend after graduating from Baldwin Wallace College in Berea, Ohio. Within one year, the business they started with $200 saw its sales grow to $250,000 and their clients expand to over 300. By 1982, sales reached $1 million and Proforma was named in successive years to Inc. Magazine’s 500 Fastest Growing Companies – the only company in the business forms industry to make the list twice.
To continue Proforma’s rapid growth, Muzzillo looked to alternate routes. In 1986, he developed the Proforma franchise model – a network of independent distributors working together to build marketing clout and strong supplier relationships. This model proved successful, as Proforma, now in its fourth decade, has grown to a $312 million dollar organization.
