"The PROFIT 100 are role models for anyone who wants to expand their business domestically or internationally," says Ian Portsmouth, editor of PROFIT.

Rentcash changed its name to The Cash Store Financial after spinning off Insta-Rent, the company's rent-to-own division in March (see story). Gordon Reykdal, Chairman and CEO of Rentcash said in March, "The name change to The Cash Store Financial Services Inc., is a clear definition of the company's primary focus of payday advances, and signals the completion of separating the payday advance and rental businesses. We are extremely excited to complete the spin-out of Insta-Rent and to bring clarity to the operating models of both the payday advance and rental businesses."
