About
Experience That Matters
Founded by operators who understand what it takes to build, buy, and sell businesses successfully.
Mike Lodge
Founder
Mike has spent decades in the thick of it—building, buying, and selling businesses across manufacturing and technology sectors.
His experience isn't theoretical. It's grounded in the reality of what works when you're dealing with real operations, real people, and real money. He understands the challenges owner-led businesses face because he's lived them.
That perspective shapes everything about how Realise Impact works: pragmatic, calm, and focused on outcomes that matter to the people who've built these businesses.

How We Think About This Work
Respect for What's Been Built
Every business represents years of effort, relationships, and decisions. We approach each engagement with respect for what the owner has created and what matters to them about its future.
No Template Thinking
Owner-led businesses don't work like corporates. They have their own logic, culture, and challenges. Our approach is shaped by each situation, not forced into a framework.
Long-Term Focus
Quick fixes don't last. We're focused on changes that improve the business sustainably—whether that leads to a transition, an exit, or continued ownership.
