LCG Advisors, a leading consulting and transaction advisory services firm, has announced the acquisition of Rapid Business Plans, a Jacksonville-based business planning services provider known for delivering high-quality, lender-ready business plans for companies seeking SBA, USDA, and other institutional growth financing. This acquisition will allow LCG’s small business services to provide expanded and more holistic service offerings to both LCG and RBP clients.
Under the terms of the acquisition, Rapid Business Plans will continue serving its existing clients while benefiting from LCG’s breadth of industry expertise and extensive consulting and technical resources. Clients of Rapid Business Plans will gain expanded access to LCG’s suite of services, including investment banking, valuation advisory, transaction due diligence, and mergers and acquisitions support.
“The acquisition of Rapid Business Plans meaningfully expands LCG’s ability to serve small businesses and lenders with a more complete, end-to-end advisory platform,” said David Ruhlig, Senior Managing Director of LCG’s Lender Services Group. “RPB brings a best-in-class reputation in SBA and government-guaranteed lending, and when combined with LCG’s transaction advisory, valuation, and capital markets capabilities, our clients benefit from deeper expertise, greater efficiency, and a more integrated path from planning to execution.”
“Joining forces with LCG Advisors aligns with our mission to help business owners succeed,” said Ms. McClellan, founder of Rapid Business Plans. “This partnership will enable us to elevate our services, deliver even greater value, and expand our reach to clients nationwide.”
The acquisition signifies LCG Advisors’ ongoing commitment to enhancing its capabilities in support of entrepreneurs, small businesses, and financial institutions. Together with Rapid Business Plans, LCG Advisors will provide a more integrated solution for small business owners, from crafting compelling plans and financial models to securing the capital required for growth and transition.
