Description of Services

Homestead Service Partners is a private acquisition company based in Chicago, Illinois that acquires and operates commercial HVAC service businesses. Through the Site, we provide:

• Information about our company and acquisition process
• A Business Valuation Calculator that provides illustrative estimates
• Educational content including blog articles, guides, and resources
• Contact forms and meeting scheduling for potential business sellers
• Job postings and career information for open positions

Business Valuation Calculator Disclaimer

The Business Valuation Calculator available on the Site is provided for illustrative and educational purposes only. The estimates generated by the calculator:

• Do not constitute a formal business valuation, appraisal, or offer to purchase
• Are based on general market data and simplified assumptions
• May not reflect the actual market value of any specific business
• Should not be relied upon for making financial, legal, or business decisions

Actual business valuations depend on numerous factors including but not limited to: detailed financial analysis, customer concentration, contract terms, equipment condition, employee retention, market conditions, due diligence findings, and deal structure. For an accurate valuation, we recommend speaking directly with Michael Mayes or consulting with qualified financial and legal advisors.

No Offer or Commitment

Nothing on the Site constitutes an offer to purchase any business, a commitment to make an offer, or a guarantee of any transaction terms. Any potential acquisition is subject to satisfactory due diligence, execution of definitive agreements, and other conditions that would be specified in a Letter of Intent or Purchase Agreement.
