Frequently asked questions
For buyers comparing QoE scopes under real deal timelines.
Is this only for SBA deals?
No—SBA acquisitions are common, but we also support strategic and financial buyers needing buy-side diligence.
How is buy-side different from sell-side QoE?
Buy-side protects the buyer’s underwriting. Sell-side prepares the seller’s story and data room. This page is buyer-focused.
How fast can you start?
Once data access is granted, we scope to your LOI timeline and lender requirements.
Do you replace legal or industry diligence?
No. We focus on financial quality of earnings and related diligence—complementing legal and commercial workstreams.
