Deal Portfolio & Case Studies
Results from real deals.
Every engagement is different, but the outcomes share a pattern: speed, discipline, and alignment that produce deals built to last. Here's the proof.
Engineering Services Acquisition: From Search to Close in 4 Months
An ex-Navy professional acquired a $4.4M boring and drilling company in North Carolina. LCG negotiated $450K+ in savings, raised investor capital, and structured a deal that cash-flowed $250K+ in Year 1.
Electrical Contracting Acquisition: $6.6M Deal with Creative Equity Structure
A financial professional based in Texas sought an absentee-ownership opportunity where he could focus on operations and finances. LCG sourced a $2.4M EBITDA family-owned electrical contracting company in South Carolina, structured a creative CEO equity rollover to retain leadership continuity, and raised $1M in investor capital — allowing the buyer to close with no money out of pocket. The business is on pace for over $4M EBITDA in 2025 and projecting $8M+ by 2028.
Manufacturing Acquisition: $12.5M Print Company with Proven Leadership in Place
LCG sourced and managed the acquisition of a $3.5M EBITDA printing and manufacturing company in the Midwest on behalf of a buyer partner. The company's established C-suite — including a CEO with 15 years of tenure and 10 years in the top role — provided clean operational continuity under new ownership. The deal was structured with a commercial loan, cash injection, and seller carry, delivering a Year 1 DSCR over 2.0x against a bank requirement of 1.3x.
Real Estate Staging Acquisition: 140%+ ROI in the First 12 Months
LCG sourced and managed the acquisition of a real estate staging company on the East Coast on behalf of a buyer partner. The deal was structured with just 10% down, 80% SBA financing, and a 10% seller note with revenue-based clawback protections. Despite a funding delay caused by seller collateral issues, the buyer is projected to make well over 140% return on investment in the first 12 months of ownership.
Franchise Acquisition: 7-Location Fitness Portfolio with ~400% Year 1 ROIC
A first-time business owner and ex-NFL player wanted to buy a business that would allow him to spend more time with his family. LCG sourced an off-market opportunity to acquire 7 franchise fitness locations in Arizona. The deal was structured with a $120K buyer down payment, $100K seller note, and SBA financing for the remaining 80% — delivering a DSCR well over 2.5x and an approximately 400% return on invested capital in Year 1.
Virtual CPA Practice Acquisition: Overcoming Licensing and Lease Obstacles
LCG sourced and managed the acquisition of a virtual CPA practice producing $600,000 in annual cash flow on a $1.4M purchase price. The buyer — a non-CPA entrepreneur with no tax background — faced two significant obstacles: the firm performed attest services requiring a CPA license, and the seller's office lease situation created an unexpected buyout issue. LCG navigated both, structured the deal with churn-based clawback protections, and identified growth opportunities that could push DSCR above 2.0x within 45 days of ownership.
HVAC Acquisition: Pre-Market Sourcing Saves Buyer $250,000
The buyer was searching for a home-service business in the Midwest states. Through a broker relationship, LCG learned of a deal coming to market before it was listed — and moved quickly to negotiate a purchase price $250,000 below the planned asking price. The buyer structured the deal with no money down using 20% seller financing, leveraging a previous SBA-financed acquisition to qualify.
Illinois CPA Firm Acquisition: Navigating a Government Shutdown and Lender Change
A husband-and-wife team with tech and investment backgrounds sought to acquire a CPA practice — despite having no tax or accounting experience. LCG sourced and managed a $2.25M deal producing $850,000 in annual cash flow, structured with churn-based clawback protections and investor capital. The closing navigated a multi-month government shutdown delay and a mid-process lender change to secure a better interest rate.
CPA Platform Rollup: From 3 Firms to 7 in Under One Year
LCG partnered with a previous client to scale their CPA firm portfolio from 3 locations ($1.5M revenue, $500K EBITDA) to 7 firms ($7M revenue, $2.5M EBITDA) across the Southwest in less than one year. The client is on pace to add another 5 locations and an additional $2.5M in EBITDA before the end of 2025.
Med Spa Acquisition: $10,000 Out of Pocket for a $500K Business
A Southern California buyer was looking for a med spa under a $1M price point to serve as the anchor of a long-term rollup strategy. LCG found an opportunity with $275,000 in SDE at a $500,000 purchase price and negotiated a $100,000 seller note — allowing the client to close with just $10,000 out of pocket.
Capital Raise: $1.5M Raised in 30 Days, Revenue Doubled in 90
A client found a business opportunity that was not SBA-eligible and wanted to invest heavily in growth. The business needed more human capital and equipment to fulfill more jobs. LCG helped raise $1.5M through its investor network in just one month, advised on closing, and created a business plan for execution. Since the acquisition, the client has doubled the business's revenue from $5M to over $10M in less than 90 days.
