How much a quality of earnings analysis would cost for these scenarios (these are completely separate and unrelated deals)-  
1. A one location convenience store retail business. $500k revenue.
2. A powersports dealership with $10m revenue.
3. An e-commerce business with $5m revenue.

Thanks!

I disagree that you always get what you pay for. I think there is several options in the $15-25k range that are more than sufficient for most businesses. I have even seen some for $10k that are still helpful.

Be careful. Lots of bad or overpriced actors. Don't go for cheap. Pay attention to the scope of assignment. I don’t prepare QofE reports. I can show people how to get better reports from better providers at more reasonable costs.
