Decades of Experience. A History of Service.
True North Mergers & Acquisitions, headquartered in Minneapolis, is a national sell-side and buy-side advisory firm spun out of Sunbelt Business Advisors in September 2021. TNMA's senior professionals have built, operated, and sold successful companies, allowing the firm to perform transactions across all industry sectors. When you choose TNMA, you're not just hiring another investment banker; you're gaining passionate advocates for your business who have been in your shoes before. TNMA's dedication goes beyond the transaction to help founders and family business owners leave a legacy they can be proud of and free to start the next chapter of their lives.
