Q. Why a franchise?
A. Consider this… 500,000 new business are started every year. 40% fail in their first year. 80% fail by the fifth year. 90% of the remaining businesses fail in the next five years. This leaves only 2% of those new businesses in operation after 10 years.
Franchises beat the odds. 85% of franchises are still in business after ten years! The highly developed systems and strategies of a franchise can provide for great, long-term success.
Q. Why Security?
A. Security is a 20.3 billion dollar industry. Each year, 3.2 million new burglar alarm systems are installed in America. Security monitoring provides a steady revenue source with minimal seasonality or impact from economic swings. The Amber Alert now provides a daily reminder of the need for security.
