Deal structuring question

Hi guys,

What would be a good (practical) resource to learn about the various way to acquire a business please? Of course there is the LBO but I came across a number of other possibilities such as OBO, LMBO, BIMBO etc.
Any other "creative" way to acquire businesses?

Have some of you experience on structuring deals with seller financing and/or earn-outs? 3. Any recommended resource on the topic? 4. How to best include these in a deal, key clauses/formulas/KPIs to use & track?

Thanks

Corporate Finance Mock Interview

“Michael was great. He proactively reached out on slack to offer help after seeing my message, and he was open to scheduling a mock interview session the very next day. He started by asking me about the role and the interview process, and then ran me through some standard behavioral questions I might be asked about myself and my experience. He was very helpful with workshopping my answers to sound less vague and more targeted to the firm, industry, and role I was applying to. Overall, great experience and I would love to work with him again. ”

“Andre was very kind in terms of laying out my options and gave me a realistic understanding by using my background and understanding it. He gave me a good number of options and suggested me targeted approach. I would definitely recommend Andre and would love to work with him again. Furthermore, he was also very open to accomodate our schedule. Thanks, Rak”
