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

  1. Acquisition

    Lurra invests and acquires the company from the seller, on a timeline that respects their reality.

  2. Stabilization

    Operations continue. The existing team stays at the heart of the company.

  3. Optimization and transformation

    The company optimizes and transforms its practices — governance, processes, technology, finance.

  4. Transfer

    Workers gradually become shareholders. The company belongs to them.
