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 recurring revenue from maintenance and monitoring contracts?" Your recurring monthly revenue (RMR) from maintenance and monitoring contracts is the most valuable asset. Acquirers will typically apply a multiple of 30-40x to your RMR, so ensuring your contracts are well-documented and transferable is critical. ### "What will happen to my loyal team of security engineers and installation technicians after the sale?" Acquirers are keen to retain skilled technical staff. Your experienced security engineers are a key asset, and buyers will typically offer them competitive employment packages. ### "How does the industry's shift towards cloud-based systems and AI analytics affect my company's valuation?" The transition to cloud-based access control and AI-powered video analytics is a major market shift. Buyers are actively seeking companies that have embraced these new technologies.
