FAQ
- Can I take over the seller's security business licence?Usually not automatically. Security firm, master and organisation licences are issued under state or territory schemes and may be non-transferable. Check the purchasing entity, nominated persons, close associates, authorised activities and personnel limits before setting completion.
- How should security employee and subcontractor licences be audited?Match every guard, crowd controller, installer, consultant and monitoring operator to the licence class required for actual duties. Check expiry, employment records, training and subcontractors, and quantify exposure where unlicensed personnel were rostered or supplied.
- Will guarding and monitoring contracts continue after the sale?Review assignment, change of control, service levels, response procedures, minimum staffing, indexation, penalties and termination. Obtain customer consent and confirm monitoring-centre accreditation, alarm connections, site instructions, keys and response arrangements can transition without interruption.
- What privacy risks should I check in a security systems business?Inspect CCTV, access-control and alarm data practices, customer notices, retention, remote access and breach response. If the Privacy Act applies, recorded personal information must be secured and destroyed or de-identified when no longer needed, alongside state surveillance requirements.
- Which incident and insurance records matter most?Review use-of-force reports, injuries, false alarms, missed patrols, thefts, complaints, police contacts and regulator action. Match each event to public liability, professional indemnity, workers compensation and fidelity cover, noting exclusions for subcontractors, firearms or cash handling.
- How can I verify a security business's sustainable profit?Reconcile rostered and billed hours by site, employee and licence class. Recalculate wages, penalties, superannuation, uniforms, vehicles, monitoring and subcontractors, then adjust for owner shifts, unfilled posts, contract penalties, bad debts and impending wage increases.
