The First 120 Days Decide Everything.
The wire hits. Monday comes anyway. Techs show up expecting answers you don't have yet. Vendors call asking who's in charge now. And somewhere between the payroll, the licenses, and the first team meeting — you realize the hard part wasn't finding the deal. It's what comes after. Lumacore guides trade buyers from Pre-Close through Day 120 — so control transfers to you.

If You Can't See It, You Can't Control It.
Most trades owners find out they lost money after the job is done—we tell you while it's happening with both a P&L and a Cockpit, because every Lumacore client gets two.
📊 The Financial Cockpit
The weekly deep dive. Built for trades owners running active jobs, multiple crews, and real money moving in and out every week. Delivered every Monday before you walk in the door.
- Actual vs. Estimate on every job
- Weekly cash flow forecast
- Projected revenue for the month
- Aged receivables & payables
- Revenue per labor hour
- Gross margin per job vs. target
- Overhead burn rate
🔧 The Operations Cockpit
The daily pulse. Built for owners who want to run the business, not audit it. One view. Everything that matters.
- Today's jobs & who's on site
- Morning huddle topics by crew
- Yesterday's safety incidents
- Open permits & inspections
- Pending change orders
- Subcontractor arrival times
- Equipment down or offline
- Today's critical path
Built for Buyers of Trades Businesses
🧰 The First-Time Buyer
You know operations. You know the work. You just haven't bought a business before. We show you what to look for pre-close and what to fix first post-close. You don't need equity partners. You need a plan.
📈 The Roll-Up Operator
You're building a platform. You have the capital, the deal flow, and the thesis. What you don't have is 120 days per deal to figure it out. We standardize integration so you can move faster.
🤝 The Broker & Lender Network
You bring the deals. We bring the operational certainty that makes lenders comfortable and buyers successful. Refer a buyer to us and we'll take care of them.
Built by an Operator.
Founded by Brandon Sady. Scaled a trades business from $12 million to $20 million. Hired 24 employees in a single year. Managed 80+ employees across multiple locations. Led the integration of an acquired plumbing company into an existing mechanical contractor. We are not brokers. We are not lenders. We are the operator that shows up after close and makes sure it works.
No Equity Required.
We work alongside you. No board seat. No equity stake. Just a flat monthly fee.
Trades-Specific.
We don't do SaaS, retail, or restaurants. Only trades businesses with crews, trucks, and job sites.
Pre-Close Through Growth.
We start before you sign, stay through transition, and remain as you scale.
Your Clients Close the Deal.
We Make Sure It Works.
If you're a broker or an SBA lender, your reputation doesn't end at close. It ends 12 months later when your client either tells everyone how well it went — or doesn't. We work alongside brokers and lenders as the operational partner for their buyers. No conflict. No competition. We make the deals you close actually succeed. If you refer a buyer to Lumacore, we take it seriously.
Before You Wire the Money —
Get a Plan.
The free pre-close review is a 20-minute call. We pressure-test your deal for dependency risk, successor readiness, license transfer risk, revenue concentration, and financial visibility gaps.
You'll walk away knowing:
- What could break on Day 1
- What must happen in the first 30 days
- Whether you're flying blind on financials
No commitment. No equity ask. Just clarity.
