How to Start a Security Guard Company

Creative Strategies for Getting Your Private Security Agency Up and Running

By: J W Murphey

Narrated by: J W Murphey

At the age of just 19, JW Murphey didn't have access to large amounts of private security industry experience, a bunch of cash, an audiobook, or the Internet to help him start his security guard company.

But, he didn't want to spend years as another cog inside of a large security corporation. Instead of staying employed with a big corporation, he struck out on his own and started his own security agency.

Now in its fourth edition, published by The Security Officer Network, the popular How to Start a Security Guard Company book includes Murphey's creative strategies for building a private security agency with a minimal up-front investment.

This isn't another generic "how to form a business" book. You will easily find a plethora of free resources on the Internet where you can learn business startup basics. This book won't waste your time repeating this information; instead, readers receive immediately actionable advice that's specifically tailored to the private security industry.

Written by an author who actually started his own agency, the book details his innovative approaches and strategies; imparts instruction on quantifying the cost of providing security services; gives tips for under bidding and competing against the big security companies; details tricks to minimize overhead and keep costs low; and much, much more.

Constantly updated and relevant, with the most recent update made in December of 2017, the book includes an array of helpful, must-have resources.
