Hello all
My name is Chris, Im new to the boards. Getting ready to start a security guard business in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area with two business partners. We all have State Law Enforcement experience as well as Military service(Marines MP). I realize this does not automatically transfer over to the Security Industry, but we certainly hope some of our training and experiences will prove an asset to our company.
With that said, can anyone lend some advice or point me in the right direction as to obtain as much info/guidence in starting this type of company in the area mentioned? Looked into a few books, but had no real luck. Thought about studying some of the more sucessful companies in the area, but naturally once they view you as potential competition, no one wants to give you the time of day (understandable).
Would love to speak with someone experienced in starting, running and operating a sucessful guard company. Someone that might even be interested in a consultant/mentor type role that can bring experience to the table. We would have no problem paying for this type of service. Basically we all realize this is a business that is growing and projected to keep growing, as we also all come from security/Law Enforcement back-grounds. If anyone could lend some direction or guidence, it would be greatly appreciated. If anyone interested would like to exchange phone #'s, that would be great. One of our partners currently runs a very very sucessful Private Investigations company, so we have a very nice facility to use, complete with several offices and a big classroom for training.
Again, look forward to any and all feedback. Thanks much, Happy Holidays
