Description

An exceptional opportunity has arisen to acquire a premier security company that has been a stalwart in the industry since its establishment in 1989. Renowned for their professionalism installing market-leading perimeter security equipment, including automatic gates, automatic barriers, access control and cutting-edge CCTV, this business has become synonymous with reliability and excellence in the South East of England.

With over three decades of experience, our client has built a solid reputation, making them a trusted provider across various sectors including schools, airports, and residential/commercial installations.

As proud members of the Gate Safe scheme, safety is at the core of their values. This commitment is reflected in their impeccable safety record, preventing accidents and ensuring the highest standards in automated and manual gate and barrier systems.

The business has thrived, reporting a substantial turnover of £548,778 and an impressive gross profit margin of £247,382 for the year ended 30th September 2023. This financial robustness underscores the commitment to delivering high-end security services.

The company boasts a diverse client base and benefits from strong secondary income through annual maintenance contracts.

With the ever-evolving security market, there is immense potential for expansion. New services and innovative marketing initiatives can be explored to position the business for continued success.

The current owner, with a legacy spanning over three decades, is set to retire. This presents a unique opportunity for an ambitious buyer or current operator to take over the reins of a reputable security firm with a solid foundation and a loyal client base.

A handover period will be offered to ensure a smooth transition, transferring not only the business but also the knowledge and relationships built over the years.

Detailed financial information, including turnover, profit margins, and accounts, will be made available to serious and qualified buyers upon request.

Don't miss out on this rare chance to acquire a well-established security company in the South East of England. Express your interest today and unlock the doors to a future of success in the dynamic security industry.
