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 are able 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 a successful operating history and solid management team 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 your business, not a long-distance operator. We have a flexible investment mandate with no stated investment or operating period; instead, we want a great business 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.
