Deal Structures

Deal structures refer to the specific terms and arrangements agreed upon in a business transaction, such as investments, sales, or partnerships. They define how resources, ownership, profits, and responsibilities are shared between parties. Common types include equity deals (ownership stakes), debt deals (loans), and hybrid arrangements. The structure affects risk, control, and return, and is designed to align parties’ interests. Clear understanding of the deal structure ensures both sides know their commitments and benefits, helping to prevent disputes and facilitate a successful agreement.
