LONG TERM CAPITALCOMMITTED TO YOUR LEGACY
WE LOVE GREAT BUSINESSES
WE LOVE PASSIONATE PEOPLE
WE LOVE ALABAMA
Gascoigne Capital was founded for the sole purpose of finding a great business that we can acquire and operate with a long term horizon. Acquiring and operating one single business is our sole focus. We have the ability to move quickly in a transaction and negotiate flexible deal terms to best meet your goals and needs.
​
Our philosophy is simple: great businesses are made of great people. All successful companies have this one common factor - they are all made of and by passionate, driven people. This singular mindset aligns us with your interests; our success is solely dependent on continuing your legacy and protecting your employees. At Gascoigne Capital we prefer companies with successful operating histories and solid management teams in place that care deeply about their work.
​
We are not a typical private equity fund or strategic buyer looking to roll up businesses or make a quick flip. Additionally, based in Alabama, we are local operators who will be intimately involved in the day to day operation of an acquisition, not a long-distance operator. We have a flexible investment mandate with no stated investment or operating period; instead, we want a company that we can hold and operate forever.
​
If you have built a great business, we want to talk to you. Call or email us today.
