Security and alarm companies don't sell like other businesses — they sell on a multiple of recurring monthly revenue. The difference between a 24x and a 40x RMR multiple is everything you do before the sale.
After years of building accounts, monitoring relationships, and recurring revenue, your exit should capture the full multiple your RMR deserves.

Most security business owners don't realize what they don't know until it costs them.
Buyers value security firms on a multiple of recurring monthly revenue (RMR). Uncontracted, month-to-month, or self-monitored accounts cap the multiple you'll command — no matter your total revenue.
High customer attrition directly compresses your RMR multiple. A buyer models churn forward — every point of attrition is dollars off your sale price.
Monitoring agreements without auto-renewal, assignment clauses, and proper terms are worth far less in due diligence. Weak paper turns RMR into a question mark.
If state alarm/low-voltage licenses are tied to you as the personal qualifier, the business may not legally transfer until a buyer secures their own — a deal-blocker if unplanned.
The business brokerage industry has embraced technology. Only a full technology stack can survive this major asset transition — and deliver the premium you deserve.
