Rare opportunity to acquire a nearly 30-year-old, licensed private security company with a diversified, recurring client base and a strong regional reputation built entirely on referrals — no advertising spend, ever.

The company provides unarmed guard and vehicle patrol services to 40+ active client sites across retail and shopping centers, hotels and motels, churches, apartment/HOA communities, and a long-standing public-sector (school district) contract. Roughly 70% of revenue comes from recurring vehicle patrol services and 30% from standing guard posts, all under annual, auto-renewing service agreements.

Historical client retention is excellent — management estimates under 2–3% annual churn — and the business has grown consistently, including through economic downturns. Revenue has grown from under $900K in 2023 to a projected $1.8M in 2026, with SDE growing from roughly $355K to a projected $760K over the same period.

The business operates with a very light fixed-cost footprint — no significant real estate, a small vehicle fleet (5–6 vehicles), and cloud-based dispatch/workforce management tools. The owner personally holds the required California BSIS security license and is willing to support license transition and remain on for a negotiated period post-sale to ensure a smooth handover.

A clear, previously-proven growth opportunity exists in the regional distribution center/logistics security vertical, which the company has serviced successfully in the past but does not currently pursue.
