How to open your chop
In this material:
An amount of several thousand dollars is all that is needed to open a private security company, according to experts. And at the same time, private security is rightfully considered a very popular business. According to statistics, the number of private security guards in Russia is estimated at 700-800 thousand people, and the volume of the security services market is 100-150 billion rubles a year. The highest demand for security services is in large cities.
Stages of opening a security company
The easiest way is to open a private security company that does not provide for the provision of armed security services.
Therefore, entrepreneurs who do not have a large start-up capital, at first, are limited to this option.
First of all, it is necessary to decide on the person who will hold the post of director of the private security company. By law, the director of a security company must have a higher legal education. If the initiator of the business does not have such an education, you will have to hire a person from outside.
At the same stage, it is necessary to decide on renting an office space, purchasing the necessary office equipment for the office, sewing uniforms for employees, purchasing special equipment (rubber batons, gas cartridges, stun guns, handcuffs, etc.).
After registering an enterprise, you need to obtain a license to carry out security activities. This requires the following documents:
- extract from the register on the opening of a legal entity;
- work book, a copy of the passport and a diploma of higher legal education of the head;
- a copy of the charter, memorandum of association and TIN of the enterprise;
- copies of certificates of private security guards hired.
All copies must be notarized.
The license is issued in the licensing department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs at the place of registration of the legal entity. The amount of the state duty for issuing this license is 1300 rubles. The term of registration is 2 months, subject to the timely submission of all documents. The license is valid for 5 years. After the expiration of its validity, it will have to be renewed.
Employees of a private security company
For the full functioning of the private security company, it is necessary to hire security guards. If it is planned to hire several tens or even hundreds of employees, security chiefs, accountants, personnel officers, etc. are additionally needed.
The main employees - private security guards - must have an individual license to carry out security activities (private security guard certificate) and a document confirming that they have passed the mandatory periodic inspection.
It is assumed that a citizen who gets a job as a private security guard is obliged to take care of obtaining these documents in advance. But in practice this rarely happens. Therefore, many security firms assist their employees in obtaining the necessary certificates.
Assistance can be both advisory and financial, when companies pay for preparatory courses that are required to obtain an individual license. Instead, they provide for the condition that a security guard who has passed the licensing procedure at the expense of the company is obliged to work in this company from 6 to 12 months. This technique allows you to deal with staff turnover, which is more than typical for many PSCs.
Search for objects
It is believed that creating and registering a private security company is not as difficult as finding clients for it. If a third party with a legal education is involved as the director of the enterprise, he may have acquaintances from previous places of work who may need security services.
Also, a young security company needs to visit specialized exhibitions more often in order to find customers, as well as join the Security Industry Association, which provides assistance to new security agencies.
You can quickly find customers among institutions such as kindergartens, schools, car parks, shops, pharmacies, etc.
The following list of services provided by the PSC can include:
- security services through rapid response teams;
- personal security services (bodyguards);
- cargo escort, collection;
- design, installation and maintenance of security and fire alarms, video surveillance systems and access control;
- consultations on issues of lawful protection against unlawful encroachments.
It is possible to ensure public order at mass events, holidays, rallies, processions.
The nuances of opening a private security company
First of all, we should not forget that in addition to the above-mentioned expenses for obtaining documents on registration of a legal entity and licensing, for the purchase of equipment, special equipment and office rent, funds are needed for compulsory insurance of employees, as well as for paying them wages. Clients, for the most part, pay for security services much later than the end of the reporting month, and employees are not ready to endure salary delays for a month or more.
Secondly, one can take into account the fact that there are many companies that assist in the registration of private security companies and even take all the trouble on themselves. Thanks to them, the opening time of a security company can be significantly reduced. Or buy an already registered private security agency that has passed the registration procedure. However, the cost of their services is quite high and the cost of opening a security company can increase several times.
If it is planned to provide armed security services, it is necessary to calculate in advance the funds for the purchase of weapons and the equipment of the weapons room. The IZH-71 pistol, approved for use in security structures, costs about 5,000 rubles. Long-barreled carbine "Saiga" - about 8000 rubles. The cost of equipping a weapon storage room can also cost quite an impressive amount.
