We are Charles Alexander Partners

We buy wonderful businesses

We are a team of investors who partner with founders to give them a quick, straightforward exit that protects their company legacy, staff, and culture.
About Us

Investing for Growth and Prosperity

Charles Alexander emerged from the desire to provide entrepreneurs a better exit experience. After our own startup was acquired by a corporation, we endured a painful due diligence and transition process that eroded company culture and diminished founder autonomy far more than necessary. There had to be a better way - one that balanced liquidity and investor returns without compromising legacy.

Thus, Charles Alexander was launched to buy wonderful businesses while letting them stay wonderfully themselves. Today our partnership focuses on buying UK and European companies with up to £100M in revenue within industries like Automotive, Technology, Private Healthcare, Security, Insurance, and subscription models.
