By Shawn Hunter


Everybody knows crimes are extremely rampant these days and we can see this is happening almost everywhere. As this can be considered a disturbing fact, there are still several people who cant defend themselves, their loved ones, and or their properties. There are some happenings that have led into serious situations like inflicting hurt into other people or even curtailing someone else life. With this, it can be your inspiration in putting up a security agency as a little way to help these defenseless people and, at the same time, gain income as you also need it.

In starting this business, you need to consider so many things. Though the process is really tiring, you know it will feel good as you help others through this small way. Because of this, here are several things you need to do as you start your security guard agency business.

The first thing is to apply for business license. This is really important because this authenticates you in legally running your business. When you apply, you will undergo testing to know whether you can pass state standards and if you are truly capable. If you have passed the test, you could acquire your license.

Get all of your vital papers in the registration process. From your DBA up to the tax ID, you have to complete all the requirements needed before you market your company in the industry. One good thing with the registration is that you only need to pay a low price.

When you are officially starting, market your agency. This is important so people will know your agency exists in the market and in the industry. Because of this, you can see the potential security guards that you might want to employ.

But in marketing, you have to first look the current market. Know who your competitors are, study the common strategies used in the market and try to develop it and fit it in your situation. Through this, you will be able to plan things that will make you the most special one in the industry and people would contact you and get your services.

Within the real marketing phase, you see there are a lot of ways to market your agency. You may have traditional marketing where you print advertisements on newspaper, flyers, and a lot more. You may even have the modern marketing where you can advertise on the internet, radio, or television. It will be great for your agency to create its website and or social media accounts in putting awareness to your target market.

There is no need for you to start so big for this business, instead the businessmen will definitely advice you there is nothing wrong in starting small. Some would perhaps say that one room of their house is just their office before. As long as all the records and important documents of your personnel and security guards are safe, then everything is alright. If there is a way to lessen you office expenses low, then it will be good for you so to spend the remaining money for other important things.

Talking about your security guards, hire those that are very reliable and who are willing to experience new things in this job. It is also good to train them to improve skills and hire those that are really good enough for you. Get your team and be ready for all the possible calls you receive from potential clients.
