CRI Capital Advisors Rebrands as CRI M&A Advisors

CRI M&A Advisors

New Name. Same Mission. Uncompromising Values.


CRI Capital Advisors is excited to announce its rebranding as CRI M&A Advisors, effective January 7, 2025. While the name and website are new, the firm’s commitment to delivering personalized guidance for family-owned and closely held businesses remains unwavering.


For over a decade, CRI M&A Advisors has been a trusted partner for lower-middle-market companies, generating between $10 million and $250 million in annual revenue. The firm specializes in guiding clients through complex transitions, including full-company sales, minority sales, and strategic preparation for eventual transactions.


“Our new name reflects an exciting step forward, but our mission remains the same: to provide tailored strategies, hands-on support, and a commitment to helping business owners achieve their goals,” said Joel Sikes, Managing Director. “Clients will continue to receive the same trusted service that has defined our reputation for excellence.”

The rebranding is part of CRI M&A Advisors’ growth strategy and reflects the evolving needs of family-owned and closely held businesses. As part of CRI’s Family of Companies, the firm is supported by a collaborative network of over 2,000 professionals specializing in financial analysis, valuation, and other essential advisory services. This robust network ensures the firm can handle even the most intricate transactions while addressing the specific goals of every client.


“This rebrand represents the next chapter for CRI M&A Advisors,” said Bill Carr, Managing Partner of CRI’s Family of Companies. “While the name has changed, their unwavering commitment to delivering strategic advice and exceptional results remains at the heart of their approach.”

To support the rebranding, CRI M&A Advisors has launched a new website, crimaa.com, offering streamlined navigation and a wealth of resources designed to guide business owners through every stage of their transaction journey.
