West Hollywood, California – Embarc Advisors, a disruptive corporate finance advisory firm that focuses on supporting, startups, and middle-market firms, acted as the exclusive advisor to RICH LTD. (“Rich”) in the acquisition by DGS Retail, a prominent provider of décor, signage, fixtures, displays, and other critical products to customers in the grocery, retail, foodservice, and consumer brand end markets. DGS Retail is a portfolio company of San Francisco Equity Partners.
“Embarc Advisors did a phenomenal job bringing this transaction to fruition. Their experience, their analytical rigor, their thoughtful strategic approach, and their deal acumen are what set them apart from the many other firms I interviewed,” commented Rich’s President Jim Hollen. “Not only did they do all the heavy lifting so I could focus on running my business, but they made me feel like I was their only client. Their process is highly collaborative, and their extraordinarily talented team was always accessible and responsive. They also have a strong network and introduced me to a number of other helpful advisors. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Jay and his entire team.”
“We are delighted to have worked closely with Rich and DGS Retail to facilitate this transformative acquisition,” said Jay Jung, Founder and Managing Partner of Embarc Advisors. “Jim Hollen owned Rich for 20 years and we are honored to have served him at this pivotal moment of his journey.”

Embarc Advisors’ expertise and dedication throughout the acquisition process significantly contributed to the seamless integration of Rich into the DGS Retail family.
