We look to acquire established businesses with proven histories and strong teams — and partner with them to unlock the next chapter of their growth.
Lode Group was founded on a simple conviction: that America's most valuable businesses aren't on Wall Street. They're the established, owner-operated companies that have quietly served their communities for decades — and are now looking for the right steward to carry them forward.
We acquire these businesses not to change what makes them great, but to give them the resources, systems and clarity to become everything they were built to be. Our intention is to hold for the long term, invest in people and honour the legacies that owners have spent lifetimes building.
We seek businesses with established track records — typically 10 years or more of consistent operations.
We target businesses generating meaningful, recurring cash flow capable of servicing acquisition financing through its own operations.
Our primary focus is established construction, trade and specialty contractor businesses in the Northeast.
We look for businesses with capable employees and management who know the work.
