ALARM-SECURITY & LIFE SAFETY BUSINESS

FOR SALE

Dennis V. Riley  Broker – “COACH” to The Life Safety Industries.

We have Bought & Sold Hundreds of Life Safety Businesses Nationwide and this is one of the Best Listings that is Priced Right and will be one of the Largest and most Profitable in this Greater Market Area.  Many People agree that it is one of the Best Market areas Nationwide, because of the strong Federal Government presents.  The New Location for the FBI in Greenbelt, Md. Is the Largest Construction Project in the History of the United States.  The Cost of Construction will be over $3.5 Billion and the Life Safety & Alarm-Security Video work will be over $400 Million the largest Security Project ever.

This 41 year old Company has about 14 Profit Centers that now produce $6 Million in annual Sales with an EBITA OF $1.1 Million.  They now have “Work In Progress” of over $800,000.   They have 25 trucks on the Road,  keeping up with New Installations and they just put 3 New “Route Sales Trucks” on the Road with 2 New Technician.  Many of the Staff, Sales Department and Technicians have been with the Company for 10 to 20 years or longer.  Last year there were about 347 “Sales Leads” that came in from the telephones, E-Mails and Web Sites.  There are “Documented” records on all these Leads and info on the results.  THE Owner is ready to retire and will stay with the New Management for3 months or the time needed for a smooth transition.  The Sr. Management wish to stay with the New Owners and are capable of taking the Business to a new higher level.

THE CENTRAL STATION MONITORING – R.M.R. (REOCCURRING MONTHLY REVENUE” AND MONTHLY Inspection Contracts produce over $110,000 per month.  This is a most Profitable part of the Business. The Largest groups of Customers come from the “Property Management Companies”  The owner and His Staff are the most active with the Property Management Associations and get many of the Life Safety Contracts from the Members. The New Sales Manager is planning to get a lot of their New Business from Trade Associations, there are more Trade Associations in the Washington area than any other City in the World. They use a third Party Central Station for all their Monitoring. A New Owner will want to add about 12 New Profit Centers to the Business. It is referred to as the “Fire Group”, this Group has 3 Division, they now do a few Fire Alarm Installations.  The New Owners will  add 2 New “Route Sales Trucks” with NICET Certified Fire Technicians to do The required Inspections and repairs  to Fire Alarms. All Fire Alarms need to be Monitored by the Central Station. This Alarm Security Business will add about $2 Million of Fire Sales in it’s first year.  All of their thousands of Existing Customers have Fire Alarms, Fire Extinguishers, and Fire Sprinklers, the “Cross Marketing” will easily get the New Owner the $2 Million in new Sales and much more.

THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER SALES AND “Inspection” BUSINESS IS ANOTHER 5  Great “Profit Centers”  All their Customers have Fire Extinguishers.  The “Route Sales People” going into every Business in the market area find thousands of New Customers, the Fire Extinguisher Technicians tell their customers “ We are doing your Fire Extinguishers can we have our Security-Alarm and Video People come visit with you??? They find many sales leads for Bonus Income. We have about a 15% Net Profit on Extinguisher Sales.

THIS SELLER DOES NOT DO Fire sprinkler work, BUT THEY SHOULD.  About 98% of all their Customers have Thousands of Fire Sprinkler Systems that must be Inspected and have Additions to Systems and many “Profitable” repairs done.  These efforts help find many more Monitored Fire Alarms for the Central Station. Most Alarm People do not want to do New Sprinkler Installations because of low profit margins and Contractors who are Slow Pay.  We love the Fire Sprinkler Inspection Business. One of our Fire Extinguisher Businesses in Fl. has added 4 “Fire Sprinkler” Route Inspection Trucks to their Fleet in the Last 4 years, each of those trucks Produces about $300,000 of sales with a bottom line NET of about 15% or $45,000.
