Lincoln provided invaluable leadership to Source Advisors throughout the sale process. The Lincoln team’s ability to utilize analysis and deep industry expertise to help articulate the complexities of Source Advisors’ business model and market dynamics were critical to demonstrating the full opportunity being pursued by President, Chris Henderson, and team. Lincoln’s outreach to a carefully selected group of high quality and knowledgeable potential buyers yielded a very successful process and an outstanding outcome for Gainline and the management team.
