Our Values
Community
Small business success is earned, often through decades of establishing trust with neighbors. As investors that value our own community, we make it a priority to understand owners’ connections to theirs, and put an emphasis on maintaining the standard of service that customers and partners in your community have come to expect.
Partnership
ValueStreet’s managers and employees invest the majority of their personal wealth into our firm. At the core of our confidence in doing so is our belief in partnership.
Partnership in our business takes many forms, and it’s a two-way relationship. When a business owner signs on the dotted line and leaves their assets under our care, they’re putting faith in us as their partners and as a steward of their legacy. Similarly, as investors we must place trust in the managers and employees that work every day to drive our businesses forward.
These relationships are only possible with true partnership, and we work every day to earn the trust of all stakeholders in our orbit.
Integrity
As a values-driven investor, integrity is at the heart of everything we do at ValueStreet. We live this work, and hope to be in the same jobs 30 years from now. As such, we make it a point to do what we say, and say what we mean in every interaction we have with business owners, intermediaries, and partners.
Professionalism
We realize that the investment world is full of people who could buy your business. We also know that when it comes time to sell your business, little things matter. You want to work with a firm that:
- Is transparent about its interest in your business
- Returns calls and e-mails promptly
- Can execute transactions quickly and confidently
Professionalism is a hallmark of everything we do at ValueStreet, and we welcome the opportunity to show you the difference.
