It all began in 1973 with the realization that business succession planning went well beyond financial documents and planning for the transfer of wealth. Since then, The Rawls Group has not only helped over 500 family and privately owned businesses across the nation, but has also put our theories to practice by becoming a family business with all three of Loyd’s children now working for the company.
