We recognize that business owners
commit their lives to building a business that they can be
proud of and that has a substantial impact on their industry,
the lives of their employees, and the
community in which they live and work. Our philosophy is to
leverage the strong foundations
built by current owners while bringing new energy and resources
to bear in order to sustain and
grow the organizations we acquire. Unlike most investors,
we are comprised of
owner-operators, committed to taking a hands-on approach to
running and growing the
business. As such, our commitment to sellers entails:
Fair dealing – We strive
to create an equitable transaction that rewards the seller for
the
business they have built, while providing a financial structure
that ensures future success
and provides a fair return to us and our investors.
Personal commitment – The Legacy
Network will only take pursue acquisitions that one of
our principals or senior leaders can take full part in operating. All transactions
include personal equity
investment and full-time, hands-on management of the business
we acquire.
Seller partnership – While
we understand that a business owner who is selling is typically ready to move on
to
other pursuits, we are committed to creating opportunities
for former owners to continue
involvement with the business in a capacity that makes sense
for both parties. We
recognize that the former owners can be a key factor in sustaining and
building upon their legacy.
Employee opportunity – We understand
that while building an organization, you build
strong relationships and ties to those who you work with.
We strive to provide stability to
organizations and reward key employees who have given your
company their loyalty and
service. As we help the business grow, we will create new
opportunities for the employees.
Integrity in the transition – Our goal is to ensure
that all business partners recognize a
smooth transition, maintaining the reputation owners have
built for quality, reliability, and
honesty.
The Legacy Network is unique in the strength of its commitment
to sellers to value and build
upon the organizations they have created. Our fundamental
belief is that many sellers have
earned the right to step back from their work and they deserve
to rest assured that the legacy
they have built will continue into the future
