Security Franchises

Strong Demand

One factor driving the widespread use of security services is municipalities cutting back on law enforcement. This means there’s more deployment of private security personnel for things like residential patrol and event security.

Popular Categories

Many security franchises have specific markets they cater to. Here are some of the most popular niches in this category:

Corporate Security

Companies looking to beef up security at their facilities often find that it’s too expensive to hire their own personnel. Utilizing services from a security franchise is much more cost-effective. Some corporations only need security services on an as-needed basis. For example, security for a special event such as a trade show or crowd control at a large marketing event. Other businesses will require 24/7 monitoring.

Home Security

Home security provides homeowners with much-needed peace of mind in a world full of threats to both person and property. 60% of would-be criminals intent on burglarizing a home are deterred by home security systems. Home security franchises offer indoor and outdoor cameras, strategic lighting, reinforced locks, window and door sensors, and monitoring services.

When you become a home security franchise owner, you don’t need any prior law enforcement or security experience. Extensive training is offered as part of the franchise package.

Cyber Security

By 2022, cybersecurity is expected to be a $198 billion business. Increasingly, criminals are targeting people instead of companies when hacking into sensitive computer networks. Once they get in, they collect customer data and use it to fleece victims of their hard-earned cash.

If you choose to purchase a cybersecurity franchise, you'll help protect clients from being preyed upon by these thieves. You will provide a service that will be in great demand as cybercriminals become more sophisticated.
