The company has been on a speedy expansion spree, tripling site numbers in 2018 and adding an additional 1,000 locations so far, this year.
A potential stock market float is one of the many options being explored as part of the expansion strategies of the company, according to sources close to the company.
EG is also reportedly in early discussions with lenders.
Last year, EG Group recorded a £121m pre-tax loss.
The pair bought a £25m mansion in Knightsbridge in 2018. They also received approval to build five identical mansions in Blackburn last year.
Mohsin and Zuber Issa, 48 and 47, launched their first forecourt in Bury in 2001 and have since transformed their business significantly. EG Group has 4,700 sites in the US and Europe.
Zuber and Mohsin were born in Lancashire after their father moved to Britain from India.
