FAQs
How much does it cost to buy a security business?
The median asking price for a security company is approximately $642,500. However, this can vary significantly depending on the size, location, and financial performance of the store.
How much do security business owners earn?

How do I value a security company?
Valuing a security business involves considering several factors, including annual revenue, profit margins, and market conditions.

Security company revenue/sales multiples range from 0.61 to 1.31, with the median at 0.96. Earnings multiples range from 2.17 to 3.92, with the median at 2.70.
