Challenges Faced by Security Franchisees
The security industry is made up of three main types of businesses:
1. Large companies
2. Medium-sized operators
3. Small owner-operators
As a franchisee, you will encounter similar challenges faced by small owner-operators-limited
resources and the inability to manage large-scale operations. While you bring extensive experience
and expertise, starting your own security business from scratch is an expensive and risky endeavor.
The industry is highly regulated, and many of the costs (e.g., legislation, insurance, and personnel)
are prohibitive for those trying to operate independently.
Even larger companies struggle with providing consistent service. These businesses often have
layers of management that dilute the quality of service, making it difficult to maintain control and
consistency.

security company on your own is challenging due to high start-up costs, long ROI periods, and an
overall lack of support. These factors often prevent experienced security managers from
