Has it been a smooth road?
Our Company experienced many Challenges and Obstacles. We started our company in 2011
the height of the ” Great Recession”.

We tried to obtain funding for SBA affiliated banks and were rejected. Then in 2013-2015, Our company was impacted by Major Defense Industry Cuts to the United States Military. ( $40-50 Billion in cuts). This reduction in the Budget Weakened our position as a company, interfered with our growth and significantly reduced our Scope of Work.

Our customers were not paying us and we were two weeks away from Layoffs and closing the doors. During this time our company’s character was being built and tested. As the owner of LCR Services, we learned to preserve and never quit!

So, as you know, we’re impressed with LCR Services – tell our readers more, for example, what you’re most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others.
