How to Start a Security Guard Company

Tired of being stuck in a large security company with no hope for advancement? You need this free book and private security business plan.

In 1996, at the age of just 19, JW Murphey didn't have large amounts of private security industry experience, a bunch of cash, an ebook or the Internet to help him start his security guard company.

But he knew that 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.

Over the next few years he ran his own security agency providing jobs to security officers and securing some of the most challenging security sites. Now you can learn from his experiences.

Since its release in 2012, this book has been downloaded thousands of times and is one of the most popular and in-depth resources for those who are serious about owning and managing their own security agency.

Updated in December of 2017 and now in its 4th edition, this free 140 page book is yours at no cost.
