SBJ Staff Report

Sept 6, 2011 -- For the second time in 2011, a prestigious business publication has honored Foundation Financial Group as one of the fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. in its annual Inc. 500|5000 list of private companies. The firm has a regional center in Savannah on Park of Commerce Dr. led by Regional Manager Gregory G. Ludwig.

The Inc. 500|5000 list is considered to be one of the most comprehensive portraits of America's fastest growing private companies. The 30th annual Inc. 500|5000 list is available in the September edition of the magazine.

"This award reflects the hard work our associates put in day in and day out," said Foundation Financial Group Chief Executive Officer Mark W. Boyer. "But the Inc. 500|5000 is also a reflection of the quality training programs our company has designed to develop our staff for future management and leadership. We are honored to be recognized as one of the nation's fastest-growing financial services companies."

In April, the Atlanta Business Chronicle honored Foundation Financial Group as the 15th fastest-growing company in its annual Pacesetter Awards. The financial services company also snagged the top spot among financial services companies.

Foundation Financial Group revenues grew 102 percent from 2008 to 2010. The growth continues in 2011 as Foundation Financial Group has opened its sixth U.S. regional center in Rochester, N.Y., and its seventh regional center in Dallas, Texas. This month, Foundation Financial Group will open five unique storefront retail centers in Dayton, Ohio; Indianapolis; Kansas City, Mo.; Toledo, Ohio; and West St. Paul, Minn.

The financial services company, which specializes in mortgage lending, property and casualty insurance, life insurance, retirement services, personal taxes, and corporate tax services, opened its Savannah office in June 2009.
