The buyer's nightmare in energy services:
Revenue that evaporates when the key contract renews, or does not.
EBITDA inflated by owner perks, one-time project spikes, and related-party expenses.
A single customer representing 60% of revenue that nobody mentioned.
Working capital requirements that drain cash in the first 90 days post-close.
An SBA lender that kills the deal because the QoE does not meet underwriting standards.
Paying Big 4 pricing for generalist coverage of an industry they do not understand.

The Guarantee
Deal Protection Guarantee
If Prairie Crossing fails to identify at least one material financial insight that meaningfully affects valuation or risk, we refund 50% of the engagement fee. No negotiation required.
This guarantee exists because we have never not found something. In energy services acquisitions at the SMB level, the earnings story is almost always more complicated than the CIM suggests. We are confident enough in that to put money behind it.
Capacity: 4 engagements per month maximum. Prairie Crossing does not sacrifice depth for volume.
Current queue: 2 to 3 weeks. Engagements must be secured before your LOI deadline.
"I got a QoE analysis that extended far beyond validation of the numbers. This comprehensive evaluation revealed profitability gaps, cost structure issues, and working capital practices that could significantly affect cashflow post-acquisition. In comparison to other diligence providers I have collaborated with, this analysis was the most practical and actionable."Search Fund Principal — Boston, MA
