Starting a security company

[Heinie_V]

Good day

Is there anybody in the security company industry that can provide me with some answers and more details please.

I am interested in starting a 24-hour armed response security company.

My questions would be as follow:

1.) Where would I need to register the business plus all employees?

2.) Any training that needs to be done?

3.) Which supplier or service provider can I contact regarding a Control Room and pricing?

4.) Which suppliers countrywide are all available for security alarm systems and all other security equipment?

5.) Where can I find all documentation about standards and laws needed?

Thank you

Hi Heinie,

I found this article that seems quite comprehensive regarding the requirements you would have to fill. Hope it helps.

Thank you WebNexus for the reply

That at least give me a much better understanding of where to register and all the registration costs.

What I still would like to found out is about a control room and the cost of setting up a control room.

Before I am going to do all the registration I want to have at least a basic idea of all the costs involved in starting up this kind of business.
