I need to know what it takes to build a security guard company for a large plant in the state of Louisiana. 1) Will need to be armed. Thank You Frank A. Curiel, Sr.

i need to know exactly what do i need to start a security company, and where can i get the training or attend the workshops?

please email me what i need to start an armed security company, like what legal papers i need to file with the state or police or any papers i need to file.

please send how to open a unarmed and arm security company.

I need to know once I get my PPO card/cert. how hard to find account or how to find them?

Let say I found them/some accounts, how much do you think I would pay for insurance for armed and unarmed guards per month? Or could please tell me where I could find that information. Thanks

If you cannot spell, do not have a degree, do not have extensive law enforcement, military, security, or business management experience, then you have no business trying to start your own security company. The market is extremely competitive. Most if not all potential clients will award contracts to the lowest bidder. The minimum wage in most states is over $7 per hour. Most contracts are being awarded to companies who bid just under $11 per hour. After you pay your employees, rent, workers compensation insurance, social security contributions, taxes, general liability insurance, state license for your agency, state licenses for your employees, background checks for your employees, uniforms for your employees, drug tests for your employees, and your employee benefits. . . well, you do the math. Chances are that if you do not already know how to get started, your state's regulatory agency will probably deny you a license anyway based on lack of experience. It is also likely you will not be able to obtain the required insurance for the same reason.

I am planning to write a small business loan proposal, for starting up a security company. can u help me with your knowledge of information on this subject, also a round house figure on the cost, both arm and unarmed. Thank u in advance.

i'm wanting to start a security guard company i have a few ideas on what i need to do. i have a friend that has done this before but i really would like to know what i would really need before i try to open my doors. thanks

Hi, I'M also in the same boat, I know about business management but I'm not sure about liability insurance and license. what kind of a customer will want this?

please tell me how i open an armed & unarmed security company. i live in delhi.

I'd like to say that security companies get paid 48.00 dollars per hour per security officer and often pay only $9 or $10 per hour.
If they didn't make money after business expenses, then they wouldn't be in the business.
and companies get a substantial discount in their fire/safety building insurance, if they have a 24/7 security. The discount is so great, that it often pays for the security staff.
If your going to start a company, be fair and break the mold of greed. give the security field, the much needed respect it deserves.
Union strong, union proud.
the truth is the truth

I am blown away. Some of these people on here cannot construct a sentence but want to and some already have a security company. I was interested but no longer am.

me and my brother are young, but we are very interested in starting our own security company. we just have an idea so we need to know everything as far as getting started.

jan, these people need help not grammar school and if that changes your mind, that just makes you look as a person very weak.

I came to this site looking for information about starting a security company. My friend and I have numerous years of experience doing security work and we want to start our own company. The information above was very informative, but it still left questions unanswered. If there is any information that can be provided about licenses, paperwork, and things of that nature, that would be helpful. We need information about what first steps to take to get the company off the ground.

My level of work experience in this field is the following: Security / Lead Officer for 1 1/2 years, and General Private Investigations for 5 years. 25 certs in security plus 40 certs in FEMA can you tell me how can I start my own security guard (unarmed) business? Thank you for taking time from your busy schedule in reading this email and I’m looking forward in speaking with you in the near future. Sincerely, Pamela L. Gleason

I would like a detailed description on how to start up from scratch. I have knowledge on the following, intruder alarms, access control and cctv. i would like to start up my own business. please be kind enough to reply thank you.

I would like to know what are some reliable, but reasonable price insurance companies for a security company.

I am taking a college course for Entrepreneurship. My final project is to write a business plan for a specific type of business. The business assigned to me (totally not my choice)was for a Security Guard Training Agency. I am not familiar with this field at all. I don't know anything about this or where to start. I would appreciate any information you have. Thank you

All I want to do is contract myself out as Armed Security, Do I still need to start my own agency so I can obtain a number for the card or how do I get around that?

The information given here was very informative, however there is a question i'd like answered. I am interested in starting a security company. I have worked in this field for almost 11 years. My question is, what licenses would i need to get started?

this was a pretty good site explaining the different ways but i would like to know how can i go by getting the license from the state to start it to make my own business legit and covered for me as well as the clients i put under my wing??? thank you for the other info please provide me the answer to this thank you

Ok people, I have read enough posts on here to realize that no one knows what they are talking about. For someone who says I have a lot of good ideas and am starting a business plan for a armed security company is like a doctor trying to start his own practice without ever going to med school. If you don't have training in the area then don't bother trying, if you don't have money already, don't bother trying. A homeless man could write a business plan, it takes education/skill/money/and experience to start this kind of company. This is not a lemonade stand here people and not for everyone.

To start in the U.S. try your states Department of Professional Licensing. They will have your state's statutes. This lists how much insurance you will need, qualifying agent requirements, rules for uniforms, vehicles, conduct etc...

My level of work experience in this field is the following: Security / Lead Officer for 15 1/2 years, and General Private Investigations for 5 years. 25 certs in security plus 40 certs in FEMA can you tell me how can I start my own security guard (unarmed) business? Thank you for taking time from your busy schedule in reading this email and I’m looking forward in speaking with you in the near future. Sincerely yours, Richard F. Moreno

I have started a small scale property management, maintenance and security company in Glasgow. Initially it was only property management and maintenance as i have construction background, but recently i secured a couple of security contracts of unoccupied properties. In process i have gained my SIA (Security industry Authority) License, First Aid, Health and Safety certification. If anyone interested in starting his business of same nature within UK, i can help him with initial advice and start up help required. (Including Financial advice) Also looking for dedicated partner who can take care of this running business, as am thinking of expansion plans. But cannot leave it without some trusted person.

So if you want to discuss any further, you can email me (farhan_malik85@hotmail.com) and if possible leave your contact number. Regards, Farhan

I want to start my own bodyguard company but I have no money! Can't I just recruit my friends, make a couple signs, and put on a suit? Or do I have to actually buy the training? If anyone can help me in anyway, please contact me at aaron_mcdonald1@yahoo.com. I live in Leland, NC, USA, and if anyone near there wants to help (especially if you have the money...) I would love to give it a try! About a week ago, everyone in the Leland Wal-Mart let a thief walk right out the front doors! They knew he stole a DVD and they had the cameras and the witnesses to prove it...but the ONE "asset protection guy" (some idiot in a T-shirt and baseball cap) was nowhere to be found! I want to help prevent things like this from happening where I live!!!
