Sell Side Lite QoE

Selling your small business is a major milestone. But many deals under $3M stall or fall apart because buyers question the earnings, push back on add-backs, or discover inconsistencies late in the process.

​

LiteQoE’s Sell-Side Lite QoE Preparation gives you a professional, independent head start. We help you clean up your financials, normalize earnings, and present a clear, defensible picture of your business’s true earning power — before you ever go to market or hand over your books.

​

Our sell-side service is tailored specifically for businesses valued under $3M. We work quickly and affordably to identify and fix issues that could otherwise reduce your sale price or delay closing.

What You Get

  • Clean, Defensible Owner’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE) – We calculate and document every legitimate add-back so buyers accept them without argument

  • Proof-of-Cash & Revenue Verification – Bank deposits matched to service tickets or POS reports so cash revenue is 100% believable

  • Personal-Expense Cleanup – We move owner car payments, family cell phones, home office, personal travel out of the P&L and show exactly what belongs in SDE

  • Rent Roll or Contract Reconciliation – For recurring businesses we tie every customer contract or rent roll to actual deposits so recurring revenue is proven and churn risk is low

  • One-Time Expense Removal – We identify and remove COVID PPP, one-time equipment purchases, or lawsuit costs so your earnings look steady and repeatable

  • Red-Flag Pre-Fix Report – We show you every issue a buyer will raise (owner dependency, customer concentration, irregular expenses) and give you the exact fixes before you go to market

  • One-Page “Buyer Handout” – A simple, professional summary of your normalized SDE that you can hand to any buyer or lender on day one

 

Delivered in 1-3 weeks with fixed-fee pricing. Most owners see their asking price protected (or increased) by $50k–$150k after our work – far more than the service costs.
