Three-time Inc. 5000 honoree and veteran-owned Reliant Mortgage earns Vet100 recognition, targeting over $500 million in mortgage production in 2027.
NEW ORLEANS, LA, UNITED STATES, November 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Reliant Mortgage LLC, a veteran-owned mortgage lender headquartered in New Orleans, Louisiana, has been named to the prestigious 2027 Vet100 list, recognizing the 100 fastest-growing veteran-owned businesses in the United States.
The annual ranking, created in partnership with Inc. Business Media and Syracuse University's D’Aniello Institute for Veterans and Military Families (IVMF), was born out of the iconic Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing private companies. Both distinctions are widely recognized as hallmarks of entrepreneurial achievement, business growth, and leadership.
From Military Service to Entrepreneurial Success
Founded by U.S. Army veteran William "Will" Tullos, Reliant Mortgage has established itself as a growing force in the mortgage industry by combining entrepreneurial innovation, operational efficiency, and a commitment to helping families achieve homeownership.
"Being recognized among the 100 fastest-growing veteran-owned businesses in America is an incredible honor," said William Tullos, CEO and Founder of Reliant Mortgage. "The military taught me that leadership isn't about the rank you hold. It's about the people you serve, the mission you accomplish, and the team you build along the way. At Reliant Mortgage, we've taken those same principles and built a company that challenges the traditional mortgage industry. This recognition belongs to every member of our team who has believed in our vision and helped turn it into reality."
A Record of Growth and Industry Recognition
Reliant Mortgage has demonstrated significant growth, nearly doubling its annual mortgage production in 2025.
The company originated 824 mortgage loans totaling more than $216 million in 2025, compared with approximately $103 million the previous year.
This growth reflects the company's commitment to building a scalable mortgage platform that empowers loan originators, branch managers, and entrepreneurial mortgage professionals.
Reliant Mortgage has previously earned recognition on the Inc. 5000 list three times, further establishing its track record of growth and business performance.
Additional industry recognition includes being named a Scotsman Guide Top Workplace Editors' Pick and receiving Mortgage Professional America's Top Mortgage Employers Gold recognition.
With a growing national footprint, Reliant Mortgage offers multiple lending channels, including delegated correspondent, non-delegated correspondent, and mortgage brokerage solutions.
The company's approach combines competitive pricing, flexible business models, technology, and personalized operational support to help mortgage professionals better serve their clients.
"Our goal has never been simply to become a bigger mortgage company," Tullos added. "Our goal is to build a better mortgage company. We believe independent mortgage professionals deserve the tools, compensation, leadership, and freedom to compete at the highest level. We're proud of what we've accomplished, but we're even more excited about where we're going."
Celebrating Veteran Entrepreneurship
“Veteran entrepreneurs embody so much of what defines the Inc. community: resilience, leadership and the determination to build something that lasts,” said Patrick Hainault, Inc. Vice President of Business Development. “We’re proud to continue our partnership with IVMF to recognize the Vet100 and celebrate the extraordinary businesses these founders are building across the country.”
“Ten years ago, the D’Aniello IVMF and Inc. created the Vet100 to recognize what veteran entrepreneurs were already demonstrating: that military service instills the discipline, judgment and resilience required to build enduring companies,” said Ray Toenniessen, U.S. Army Veteran and Executive Director of the D’Aniello IVMF. “A decade later, Vet100 companies continue to grow and anchor communities in every region of the country. These honorees collectively represent a ten-year record of the value veteran-owned businesses create for the American economy.”
Vet100 honorees will be formally recognized during the Vet100 Dinner and Awards Ceremony at IVMF’s Veteran EDGE Conference in Dallas, Texas.
