The dream of owning a security company is more alive than ever. With rising demand across residential, commercial, and event sectors, many companies are pushing expensive franchise packages. But here’s the truth:
You don’t need a franchise to succeed. You need support, tools, and the freedom to build your brand.
❌ The Franchise Trap
What they don’t tell you:
- High upfront fees — Tens of thousands before you even start
- Ongoing royalties — A cut of your profit forever
