Linking Your Business Legacy to

Your Family’s Legacy

Family Enterprise Legacy

Legacy

What your family’s values are, and what your family stands for is its legacy.

Now the question becomes – how does this relate to the family business?

It may be an opportune time to consider turning your business’ good fortune into a family tradition that nurtures each generation and develops a positive vision for the family that goes beyond your family legacy.

You can do this by taking stock of what has made you so successful. You will likely find that your success – or your legacy --- is sourced in your values, and your family’s values.
