We
pursue all of our activities according to a high ethical standard,
looking to do what is right
rather than what is convenient. We understand that truly successful
enterprises are built on a
foundation of trust and we will make sure to earn that trust
in all that we do. Our seven core
values are:
Equitable Transfer
Of Ownership
Excellent Customer Service
Caring Employee Relations
Partnership With Suppliers
Investment In Growth
Positive Impact On The Community
Stewardship
Equitable Transfer Of Ownership
We believe that it is critical that there is an equitable
transfer of ownership, making sure that
value is created for all parties in our relationships. This
means that a business owner selling
his legacy will get a fair price that rewards him for his
years of work building up his business.
We also expect to pay a fair price that allows us to invest
in the business while earning a fair
return for devoting our life energy to building the legacy
and growing something that the
founder/owner can be proud of. (TOP)
Excellent Customer Service
We strive to provide excellent customer service as a primary
objective of our enterprise. We
desire that our customers be delighted with the quality of
our products, the responsiveness of
our service, and the integrity of our dealings with them.
We recognize that when our customers
know that we want to help them be successful that they will
want to grow with us. (TOP)
Caring Employee Relations
We invest in our people and we desire to help them grow
and develop. We appreciate that
everything accomplished by a business enterprise is achieved
through the hard work and best
efforts of its employees. We value each employee as a unique
individual who can play an
important role in the business and who has the capacity to
grow and strengthen their
capabilities. (TOP)
Partnership With Suppliers
We strive to develop partnership-based relationships with
our core suppliers, looking to create value in the supply
relationship by improving our ability to provide high service
levels to our customers and reducing the total system cost
of the enterprise. (TOP)
Investment In Growth
We will build up the legacy of the founder/owner by pursuing
an objective of responsible growth.
A well-built company has strong capabilities that have enabled
its current success. A policy of
responsible growth expands the impact of the enterprise while
not stretching the resources
beyond a reasonable level. Growth also creates opportunities
for our employees to develop
and strengthen their own personal capabilities. (TOP)
Positive Impact On The Community
All businesses run well have a positive impact of the
community. Providing quality jobs to
employees, contributing to the tax base of the local economy,
and maintaining responsible
stewardship of the assets of the business all serve the needs
of the community. We also seek
additional ways that our business can have further positive
impact through more direct
community involvement as appropriate. (TOP)
Stewardship
We take personal responsibility for a company when we buy
it. One person from The Legacy Network will be devoting his
career to building and growing the business he buys and so
he
will be fully committed to the ongoing success of your business.
We are also committed to
doing what is right, because we recognize that the impact
of a successful business is greater
than the profits it generates. (TOP)
