As you can see by my profile info, I am trying to start a private security business. I used to work for a Security company until I found they were breaking laws left and right to save money (at one point the did not pay me the overtime I worked for them in addition to making me work illegal shifts according to labor laws). I had found out the were not following State or Federal Level laws in regards to required registration and training's. My new found purpose is to start a Private Security Company that not only can be reputable but can get contracts based on the reputability and explicit qualifications (federal level Licensing and training's in addition to professionalism through Certifications). Unfortunately, most security companies I have seen are breaking laws to stay cheap (i.e. Not registering their employees as Guards and receiving guard cards for the main purpose of saving money). My goal is to start the company and get contracts on the basis of being ethically sound and trustworthy. My personal belief is that you will get more contracts (and make more profit) if you remain lawful and trustworthy. Integrity is key. My question is how to do so. What do i need to start doing to get loans and how should i right my Business plan? Where should I look for loans and how can I make my business plan stick out compared to all the other Private Security Companies out there? Any advice would be immensely appreciated.
