LEEDOM GROUP OF COMPANIES

A Family Office Built on Operating Experience.

Since 1998, we've founded, scaled, and exited more than a dozen companies — generating over $500 million in combined revenue. Today we bring that same operating discipline to a portfolio of ventures spanning automotive finance, dealer technology, and beyond.

Our Story

Nearly Three Decades of Building

Leedom Group traces its roots to 1998, when Chris Leedom founded his first company with nothing more than an idea and a relentless work ethic. In the decades since, that same entrepreneurial discipline has built and scaled more than a dozen companies across finance, technology, and automotive services — generating over $500 million in combined revenue along the way.

Today, Leedom Group operates as a family office: a permanent home for capital, operating expertise, and hands-on partnership. We don't just write checks — we build alongside the teams we back, drawing on decades of firsthand experience starting, scaling, and exiting companies of our own.

Our Approach

Our Approach . . .

Over a dozen successful start-ups since 1998. We build and develop organically.

Our core investment and client philosophy is simple: does this bring value and return to the equation?

Since inception, the Leedom Group of Companies has helped thousands of automotive dealers — franchise, independent, and BHPH — not only succeed, but thrive. That same approach has served us well in our private equity investments over the past 10 years. We bring business acumen to the table and excel at helping entrepreneurs succeed. We believe this is the ultimate American dream.

From our early days operating dealerships and benchmarking the auto industry, to today's world of artificial intelligence and business velocity, we seek out where the market is headed and bring real value — to our products, our services, and our private investments.

Since 1998, your success has been our business.

Automotive & Dealer Finance

Deep Roots in Automotive & Dealer Finance

While our reach extends across industries, automotive and dealer finance remain where our operating roots run deepest. Our team has worked directly with more than 5,000 franchise, independent, and Buy-Here-Pay-Here dealers — building the kind of on-the-ground understanding that can't be replicated from the outside looking in.

That expertise now powers AIVA DealerTeams, our AI-driven collections platform, and informs every dealer-facing venture in our portfolio.
