Re: anyone from Massachusetts or know alarm installation business ups/downs?

["Bob Worthy" <securinc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Do you have a business plan as of yet? This industry, not so much fire, is
very diverse. What areas of security are you thinking of entering? Fire is
life safety and there is no diversity other than what is in NFPA. Keep your
company insured, which is probably required in the licensing statute anyway,
with liability (million $ plus) E&O, completed operations coverage, and
Workers Comp. on your employees. Some states require seperate licensing for
burg and fire. Tell us where you are going with this and then we can spell
out the ups and downs and any pitfalls, otherwise we could be talking
volumes of info. on this subject. You will get a lot of different opinions
here. What may work for one, may not work for another, but there is much
info that will pertain to anyone in the biz, regardless of their individual
business plans. Get back with us.
