About Security Firms.

A security firm sells the same thing in several very different shapes. Building security means guards posted at a lobby, gate, or front desk on a standing monthly contract. Mobile patrols check construction sites, warehouses, and properties on a nightly schedule. Event security puts a team of guards on doors and crowds for a single night, and executive protection or bodyguard work assigns licensed agents to one person for a day or a trip. Each shape has its own pricing logic, yet many firms still quote every request by phone and invoice contract clients by hand, which slows approvals and strains payroll. Posting per-shift, per-event, and per-day rates, taking deposits on events, and billing contracts automatically gives clients a clear way to buy security and gives the firm predictable income.

How Security Firms Price Their Work.

The billing structures this trade actually uses — and what each one means for getting paid. Every one of them can sit on a single rate card.

Monthly building security or patrol contract

Lobby and front-desk guards, gatehouse posts, construction sites, and nightly mobile patrols.

Billed automatically each month, so payroll is not waiting on a client’s accounts payable cycle.

Per guard, per shift

Short-term coverage, standby guards, and fill-in posts with a minimum shift length.

A posted shift rate lets clients book coverage without a custom quote every time.

Event security by team size

Concerts, private parties, weddings, and corporate events that need door control and crowd management.

Priced by guards and hours, with a deposit that holds the team for the date.

Executive protection and bodyguard day rate

Close protection for executives, public figures, and private clients, including travel days.

A day rate with advance work priced separately reflects the planning behind each assignment.

Where Security Firms
Lose Money.

The payment problems specific to this trade, and what actually fixes each one.

every request quoted by phone

Clients call for a guard, an event team, or a bodyguard, and each request turns into a custom phone quote that may never be accepted.

Post shift, event, and day rates on your link so clients can see prices and book coverage themselves.

contract billing that lags payroll

Officers are paid every pay period, but building and patrol contracts get invoiced whenever the office catches up, so payroll is funded from your own reserves.

Bill building security and patrol contracts as recurring monthly services that charge on schedule.

event teams booked without a deposit

An event team is scheduled weeks ahead, and a cancellation the day before leaves officers turned away from other work with nothing paid.

Take a deposit when the event is booked, so the date is committed before the team is scheduled.
