Hot Listing
24/7 Off Duty Law Enforcement Security Services Provider
Business Description
Founded more than four decades ago and operated continuously under original ownership, the Company coordinates and deploys credentialed security personnel for corporate, institutional, hospitality, nonprofit, and event clients across a major Midwest metropolitan market and surrounding counties.
The company operates 24 hours per day, seven days per week. Service delivery runs through a tiered structure: the owner holds customer relationships, contracting, and pricing; a shift- manager layer owns account-level scheduling and coverage; and a network of 100+ credentialed personnel engaged as 1099 contractors performs assignments. Ownership does not build individual schedules or staff individual shifts.
Services include recurring corporate and institutional coverage: facility security, property observation, vehicle patrol, access presence, radio monitoring, and first-response capability. Alongside temporary assignments for corporate, sporting, charity, church, and hospitality events, which may command premium rates. Standard assignments bill at approximately $70–$95 per hour, with direct costs yielding a healthy gross spread.
Investment Highlights
• Certain key customer relationships and contracts maintained for multiple decades, despite mutual 30-day termination provisions
• Clean insurance and claims history spanning decades — a material advantage given the risk profile of 24/7 corporate deployment
• Network of 100+ credentialed personnel drawn from multiple agencies across the region; established shift-manager layer absorbs daily staffing and coverage responsibility
• Asset-light: no owned real estate, minimal capital requirements, contractor-provided equipment
