Hi - Does anyone have a good QofE provider they like that is inexpensive? The deal is pretty small so quite cost conscious. Ideally looking for someone with experience at a larger shop and then hung their own shingle. Thanks!

A bit of unsolicited advice / leading questioning, Have you seriously considered whether you need a QoE for this small deal? If you have the right reps and warranties, setoffs, and a material seller note, those are great structuring features in addition to having enough liquid capital to cover deal absorption costs (there's always deal absorption costs that get discovered no matter how much due difference is done). This is assuming a certain searcher risk appetite and that the business is not too complex.
Not trying to sway you, but it's an alternative to be considered. I view QoEs like buying insurance. You need to know where the QoE's service offerings boundaries are so you don't have a false sense risk transfer.
Here's a great overview of Elliott's services just in case.
Good luck!
