CR Creative Services (CRCS), a Los Angeles-based decorative arts logistics and storage company, was acquired by a local family office. CRCS retained Dave Richards of Keystone Business Advisors to target buyers and manage the sale process of its business. CRCS is a niche, high-touch transportation business providing a full range of logistic services tailored specifically to the nation’s top interior designers and high-end clients for antiques, fine art, furniture, and high-end custom items. Services include transportation, storage, shipping, furniture, and custom art installation, receiving and crating.
“The CRCS management team had developed a state-of-the-art custom software system designed to provide customers a complete photo library for every item being stored as well as a complete inventory management system with GPS tracking and a phone app where items can be processed anywhere in the field. The fact the company has such robust technology enabled us to present the company as a technology company as much as a service company which enabled the seller to capture substantially more value for the business,” stated Dave Richards of Keystone.
“CRCS is so uniquely specialized, I knew we had to find a buyer that understood and appreciated the intricacies of the business as well as implement the required infrastructure initiatives for the company to reach its full potential. The family office buyer that CRCS chose demonstrated the motivation, determination and capability to implement the required measures to take this great business to the next level.”
