I'd budget 5-10% of purchase price for deal costs. The meter starts to run with an attorney and accounting pros. You should be able to find a competent attorney who charges 1% of the deal which is attractive for small deals with payment at closing which is nice. Also, smaller transactions say under $5mn price IMO don't justify $25,000 QofE's. Also easier to skip the QofE if its just you and the SBA. However, if you have professional investors in the cap stack, you may need to do a more formal vetting to meet their criteria. That's something to discuss with them. You need to proof sources of revenue and costs, understand customer concentration issues. You should be able to do it yourself. You better do it yourself -you are on the hook, not your hired help! Now a much larger deal, multiple products, investors a sponsors must do more and the deal size justifies that. I found on smaller deals its possible to get good accounting talent by the hour ($250-$400). These people will serve as your wingman to dig thru stuff and share their concerns. Nope that doesn't have a QofE stamp on it but it may be all you need and all a small first deal justifies. Good hunting!

Hey Moises, $1k for a website is way too much! I paid $12 for my domain with Google sites, and spent a couple hours building a site there. I have zero tech background and still found the google interface to be really straight forward. If you use one of the common LLC creators (LegalZoom, etc) and you're willing to do some paperwork yourself you can probably get your business incorporated for >$100, especially if you are incorporating where you live and don't need a registered agent. If you want to DM me I'd be happy to chat more about the process and a more detailed budget
