Business succession that puts the company back into the hands of those who keep it alive
Lurra is an investor group that acquires Québec companies and guides them toward self-management and worker ownership.
Our mission
Another path for business succession
Every year in Québec, thousands of viable companies risk disappearing for lack of succession. The usual solution — selling to the highest bidder — rarely protects what matters: jobs, know-how, local roots.
Lurra offers another path. We invest in acquiring companies to transfer them, gradually, to the people who know them best: their employees. Our mission is to make business succession a lever for durability and autonomy — companies owned and governed by their teams, structured to last.
Our vision
Companies that belong to their teams
We believe a company run by its workers is not a utopia: it is a proven model that calls for a structured transition. In time, every company Lurra acquires is meant to become a worker shareholder cooperative — autonomous in its governance, solid in its operations.
How it works
From business transfer to worker ownership
Acquisition
Lurra invests and acquires the company from the seller, on a timeline that respects their reality.
Stabilization
Operations continue. The existing team stays at the heart of the company.
Optimization and transformation
The company optimizes and transforms its practices — governance, processes, technology, finance.
Transfer
Workers gradually become shareholders. The company belongs to them.
