The technology-led security company is looking to take the business model global
Signal 88 Security, the worldwide premier security services franchisor, was founded in 2003 in Omaha, Nebraska, USA. The company’s focus is on a local ownership model of franchising and technology, which provides organisations with higher quality and more efficient services.
This framework improves their services and coverage. Signal 88 Security awarded its first franchise in 2008 and now occupies locations in over 160 areas in the USA, two in Canada and a master franchisee in Australia and New Zealand who recently executed the master franchise agreement and began trading in January 2016. The company’s vision is to provide a full suite of world-class and industry-leading security services for residential, commercial, retail and institutional customers because, quite simply, safety is a basic human right and need.
Signal 88 Security promises to provide customised security services to allow individuals, businesses, neighbourhoods and communities to pursue their passions in life openly, freely and joyfully; without the freedom of feeling secure, our interests cannot be fully enjoyed.
Signal 88 Security believes that it can solve the increasing complex security needs of today through simplicity, professionalism, value and quality of what it promises, delivers and measures every day. At Signal 88 Security, the tagline “We’re Here” speaks to the trust, responsibility and accountability placed in the company by every client. The franchise knows that its reputation is built and measured not on what it says about itself but by the peace of mind it brings to clients.
WHY SIGNAL 88?
As a Signal 88 Security partner, you bring peace of mind to your customers and your community, allowing them, and you, to pursue passions in life. For international franchise partners, Signal 88 Security becomes a way to achieve control over their lives and enables them to spend more time participating in what’s most meaningful to them. They represent a brand of true difference and meaning in the industry and in their communities.
Passion for business, community, and family are key factors that drive the achievement of a Signal 88 Security franchise partner. Along with the support of the corporate office, these elements combine to create, what the company believes is, an unstoppable momentum toward success.
SAFETY FIRST
What do people really want from a security company? Security matters to everyone who lives, works, plays, shops, and does business in any community. Security is a needed, recession-resistant service, thereby creating the opportunity for franchise partners to build sustainable and scalable businesses. Signal 88 Security believes that through the services it provides, creating peace of mind is an opportunity without limits and its franchise is an industry that people are proud to be involved in.
The security industry is primarily made up of large, global competitors and local sole proprietors. This leaves a large gap in the middle, which is where Signal 88 Security finds its niche. While many providers of security were founded decades ago, Signal 88 Security was born during the technology age. Accordingly, the company’s modern service model is centered upon cutting-edge technology and the people who use it. It is a modern approach to a very old, but growing, industry, and it’s proving successful!
GET INVOLVED
Signal 88 Security believes that the rapid increase in private security will challenge the current public infrastructure by supporting the security of citizens in different regions of the world. It has been the company’s experience when this happens that there will be an increased demand for higher quality security services. In these situations, organisations and families want a high quality, private pay solution to protect their loved one’s safety. The Signal 88 Security business model is designed to fill this gap.
Signal 88 Security provides an opportunity to link a life purpose with a life outcome. To promise and deliver security for others while creating security and reward for those closest to one’s own heart. This is a fundamental ethic for the brand and is worn as a badge of honour. The company consciously strives to shape opportunity for others and to become proud contributors to the health and safety of local communities; to be active participants in the building of the future, based on securing what happens every day in those places; to do good by doing right and to do well because of it.
Signal 88 Security is looking to expand its brand by entering into markets through master franchise partnerships with local entrepreneurs. The company is seeking to partner with ambitious leaders who have an interest in obtaining the franchise rights within a specific country. When identified, the company will work with these leaders to establish their first Signal 88 Security franchise operation in that market and, when fully established, will assist the master franchisor in the implementation of a dynamic plan which will offer additional franchise opportunities to entrepreneurs in communities across their specific market.
