Part of the Reads Advice Partners network, we focus exclusively on private security businesses.
Security Business Sales was created to serve a gap in the market: security business owners who deserve a broker that truly understands their sector.
We know the difference between a business running six SIA-licensed operatives on residential intruder alarm installations and one managing 500 commercial CCTV and monitoring contracts across the Midlands. We understand why NSI accreditation matters, how SSAIB accreditation transforms a valuation, and why the convergence of physical and cyber security and active PE consolidation are creating the most significant acquisition opportunity in the sector's history.
Our approach is simple. We take the time to understand your business properly, position it correctly, and then create competitive tension among qualified buyers. We do not rush the process. We do not take shortcuts. And we never compromise on confidentiality.
We are part of the Reads Advice Partners network, which brings broader M&A expertise and a nationwide buyer register. But our focus is singular: security businesses.
Simon Read manages the Security Business Sales division, working directly with every client from initial conversation through to completion. There is no sales team. There are no junior analysts running your deal.
When you call, you speak to the person who understands your industry, has access to the buyer network, and will manage your sale from start to finish. Simon knows the difference between a business with 200 commercial monitoring contracts and one running a team of domestic SIA-licensed operatives. He understands how SSAIB accreditation changes a valuation, why NSI accreditation matters to PE buyers, and what the analogue phone line switch-off means for the acquisition market.
This direct, personal approach means nothing is lost in translation. Your business is positioned accurately, your concerns are heard by the person making decisions, and you always know exactly where you stand in the process.
No obligation, no pressure. Tell us about your business and we will be in touch within 24 hours.
