    Starting a security business.

    It all depends on your target market. £11 per hour is a little steep, but there is still good money to be made in the security industry if you get in with the right people. ACS is becoming mandatory for most companies who wish to deal in sub-contracting. That all said, most of the small...

    Did you mean £300 per month for 2 days a week? Or 2 days a month? We do spend quite a bit with them. Would you recommend running yell adverts and having somebody do telemarketing? Or sacrifice yell?

    Our ROI on yell is fantastic. Maybe we got lucky, but we won business with a client that found us on yell. We invested in Yell a few years ago, the profits made from that particular client have somewhat paid for Yell for the foreseeable future. That is not to say that Yell is excellent...

    Hi I agree with you. As we only deal with b2b, cold calling can certainly have a negative impact. I suppose the only other way would be to have somebody on the ground, door knocking and that can again have a negative impact. We sell security services, so we have to face the customer to...

    Hi Dave, Thanks for the response, I wouldn't say we are well known in our industry. We want to solidify our position in our geographical area first and then branch out. Even though we are not recognised widely we have all the correct accreditation's which the big boys have. The cold...
