How the Businessuite Top 100 Was Compiled
The Businessuite Caribbean Top 100 & Power 100 rankings are designed to provide a structured, data-driven assessment of the financial scale, profitability, and executive performance of publicly listed Caribbean companies. The framework aligns with international ranking standards, enabling meaningful comparison with global benchmarks such as Fortune and Forbes, while reflecting the unique structure of Caribbean capital markets.
Primary Ranking Metric
The core ranking for the Top 100 Caribbean Companies is based on annual gross revenue expressed in US dollars. Standardising results in US currency facilitates cross-market comparability across exchanges in:
- Jamaica
- Barbados
- Guyana
- Trinidad & Tobago
- The Eastern Caribbean
In addition to revenue rankings, supplementary tables assess:
- Net Profit After Tax (NPAT) in US dollars
- Year-on-Year Percentage Change in NPAT (2025 vs 2024)
- Exchange-specific Top 50 sub-rankings
The Top 100 Caribbean CEOs ranking is derived from the percentage change in net profit after tax attributable to the companies they lead, measured on a year-on-year basis.
Inclusion Criteria
Companies included in the rankings meet the following criteria:
- Publicly listed on a recognised Caribbean stock exchange
- Published audited or officially reported financial results for fiscal years 2024 and 2025
- Availability of sufficient financial data for revenue, net profit after tax, and related calculations
Only publicly disclosed financial information from company annual reports, stock exchange filings, and regulatory disclosures was used.
Currency Standardisation & Calculations
All financial figures were converted to US dollars using exchange rates supplied by the central banks of the respective markets as at December 31st 2024 and applied consistently within the dataset. Calculations included:
- US-dollar revenue conversion
- US-dollar net profit after tax
- Year-on-year percentage change in NPAT
- Ranking order determination and tie-break application
Ranking positions are determined strictly by numerical outcome based on the stated metric for each table.
Independent Data Review
To strengthen transparency and credibility, Dataffluent was engaged to perform an independent review of selected quantitative data and related calculations used in the preparation of the 2025 rankings.
This engagement was a limited-scope, non-assurance review and did not constitute an audit under international auditing standards. Procedures included:
- Verification of internal consistency and mechanical accuracy of Excel calculations
- Recalculation of selected companies and CEO datasets
- Confirmation of ranking order alignment with the published methodology
- Review of inclusion criteria application
- Reasonableness testing of outliers and extreme values
Dataffluent conducted independent extraction and comparative review across all five exchanges covered.
Scope & Limitations
The review was limited to datasets provided at agreed cut-off dates and did not include procedures to obtain information beyond publicly available disclosures. The engagement does not represent an audit, review, or assurance opinion.
Based on the procedures performed, nothing came to Dataffluent’s attention to indicate that:
- Revenue, net profit after tax, or percentage change calculations were incorrectly derived; or
- Ranking orders were inconsistent with the stated methodology.
Editorial Integrity
