Buying a business can be exciting. Buying the wrong business can be devastating.
Most buyers enter acquisitions with little understanding of how deals are actually structured, negotiated, and completed. As a result, many transactions fail before closing, while others create costly surprises long after the paperwork is signed.
The Structured Deal is your practical guide to navigating business acquisitions with confidence. Written by attorney and deal process educator Sara Sharp, this book pulls back the curtain on what really happens behind successful transactions and provides a clear roadmap from initial discussions to closing.
Inside this book, you'll discover how to:
- Understand the structure and stages of a business acquisition

Whether you're acquiring your first business, expanding through acquisition, or simply exploring your options, The Structured Deal provides the practical insights, proven strategies, and legal perspective you need to make informed decisions.
