Deal structuring question

Hi guys,

  1. 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.
  2. 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
