Abstract. The purpose of the study is to identify universal and specific parameters of the verbalization of the information structure of the memoir texts of British and American entrepreneurs. The article defines the elements of the information structure of English-language business memoirs, which is considered in the form of a number of thematic groups. The main attention is paid to the description of multi-level language tools with which a specific thematic group is implemented. In addition, a comparative analysis of linguistic means in the memoir texts of British and American entrepreneurs is presented, through which similarities and differences in the verbalization of their information structure are determined. The scientific novelty of the research consists in the definition and systematization of text-building tools of business memoirs of English-speaking entrepreneurs based on their generalized information structure. As a result of the study, it was found that in the process of verbalization of the information structure in the texts of English-language memoirs of entrepreneurs, the use of both universal language tools and specific ones is observed. The language specifics are directly dependent on a certain thematic group. Also, English-language business memoirs have revealed some differences of a text-building nature due to differences in British and American mentalities.
