A Lite QoE (also called QoE Lite or Lite Quality of Earnings) is a streamlined screening analysis of a business's earnings for a potential acquisition. LiteQoE delivers one for $199 in 1–2 hours: normalized earnings, add-backs checked against tax returns and books, business health grades, and next diligence steps.

How is LiteQoE different from a full Quality of Earnings report?

A full QoE is a CPA firm's in-depth review, usually $15,000 or more and several weeks. LiteQoE is a $199 screening analysis delivered in hours. It is not a CPA-attested report, a valuation, or a lender package.

Searchers, ETA buyers, independent sponsors, and anyone buying a small business, especially before an LOI. After an LOI, the screen can be handed to a CPA or Quality of Earnings firm as a starting line; it is not a substitute for their work.

How long does a LiteQoE screen take?

Uploading takes most people 25–30 minutes. Your report is emailed within 1–2 hours of your last upload. Hours, not weeks.

When to use a Lite QoE

Before the LOI: screen every deal before you build a model or ask the broker for more data.
After the LOI: hand the screen to your CPA or Quality of Earnings firm as a starting line. It does not replace their work.

What a Lite QoE is not

A Lite QoE is a screening analysis. It is not an attestation, a valuation, or a lender package. If a lender needs a CPA's signature, you need a full QoE. Compare them side by side: Lite QoE vs. full QoE.
