Outstanding Security Business With Excellent Profits For Sale

Business description

Advent Business Sales is delighted to have been instructed to offer to the market this very well established and profitable security business.

Founded by the current vendor over 10 years ago, the business is only now being reluctantly offered for sale to enable him to focus his efforts on an alternative unrelated business venture.

The business covers almost every aspect of security including:
• Door supervisors
• Static guards
• Key holding
• Alarm response
• Reception security
• Mobile patrols
• Private clubs
• Individual close protection
• Permanent / temporary placements

The business is a preferred supplier for two major public house chains and is also a security industry authority approved member.

90% of turnover is within an approximate 30 mile radius of its plush offices in a suburb of Birmingham, although it does have clients on a national basis.

The business has four full-time staff and approximately 80 self employed staff. In the year to May 2010, they achieved annual sales of £1,110,472 and enjoyed a gross profit of £192,415. Overheads are minimal so the business has a net profit which is being achieved on a consistent basis.

The business is sufficiently profitable and can be operated by management, if the new owner wishes to do this.

The vendor is quite prepared to work with a new owner for a period of time to ensure a smooth transfer and to provide the necessary introductions to both staff and customers.

Business Operation

Expansion potential:

This is clearly an established and very successful business, although it still offers excellent potential to increase both sales and profits in the future by:
1. Expanding out of the core area
2. Advertising – at the moment the business attracts most work through its website, word of mouth referrals and in local magazines
3. Approach the Olympics to enquire about the potential security needs
4. Sell camera security systems
5. Contact supermarkets who have large cash takings
6. The business would be an ideal ‘bolt on’ for a larger concern looking to expand into the area or as an addition to the concern’s local involvement.
