Guidance Through Every Stage of a Sale

Exit Process Advisory supports founders and leadership teams throughout the entire sale process. Designed for owners who are ready to pursue an exit, Northbound Group serves as a trusted advisor and strategic quarterback from early preparation through transaction close.

Our role is to protect value, manage complexity, and support confident decision-making during a high-stakes transition.

The Risk of Entering a Sale Unprepared

Many founders enter a sale process without the experience or structure required to navigate it effectively. This often results in:

  • Undervaluation
  • Prolonged timelines
  • Distracted leadership
  • Unfavorable deal terms
  • Increased risk during diligence

Without experienced guidance, owners risk leaving value on the table or failing to exit successfully.
