    Before You Speak to Anyone

    What Every Owner Needs to Know

    You have probably been approached. PE-backed platforms, national groups, trade buyers looking to add your contracts. But most owners have no idea who is genuinely buying, who has the capital to close, and who will waste months of your time.

    Without competing offers, there is no leverage. The buyer sets the pace, anchors low, and waits.

    "How will a buyer value my book of monitoring contracts?"

    Your monitoring contracts are the most valuable asset. Acquirers will typically value them on a multiple of your recurring monthly revenue (RMR), with higher quality, lower-attrition contracts commanding a premium.

    "What will happen to my experienced central station operators after the sale?"

    Acquirers are very keen to retain experienced central station operators and technical staff. Your team's expertise is a key asset that ensures a smooth transition.

    "With the upcoming switch-off of traditional phone lines, how will this affect the valuation and timing of my sale?"

    The transition to digital and IP-based monitoring is a significant opportunity. Buyers are actively seeking companies that are either advanced in this transition or have a clear plan for it.
