Coolagad Capital Ltd

Coolagad Capital Limited is an Irish investment and operating partner that specialises in acquiring and growing established businesses, with a particular focus on facilitating smooth shareholder transitions. Founded in 2024, the firm combines financial backing with hands‑on operational expertise, enabling owners to realise value in a discreet, transparent and sensitive manner while ensuring continuity for staff and customers.

The Coolagad team adopts a three‑pronged approach. Discretion is paramount, with every sale handled confidentially and on a timetable that suits the shareholders. Operationally, the partners are active managers, drawing on multi‑sector experience to fill gaps across sales, finance, operations and other functions, working collaboratively with existing management teams. Situationally, they target ownership transitions and strategic refreshes, providing additional resources and capabilities during periods of growth, change or uncertainty. Their investment criteria centre on profitable enterprises with revenues above €10 million, a defensible niche, a fragmented market and a diversified customer base, though they remain open to special situations.

Based in Co. Wicklow, Coolagad Capital is led by Brian, a seasoned executive with a track record of overseeing businesses with collective turnover exceeding €120 million across the UK, Norway, the Netherlands and Spain. Backed by experienced investors, the firm serves owners seeking a partner that can both preserve legacy and drive future expansion.
