Running a commercial security, alarm installation, central station monitoring, or physical guard service means managing recurring monthly revenue (RMR) contracts, state security licensing, guard turnover, and 24/7 central dispatch operations. In the M&A marketplace, security alarm businesses are highly sought after because of their multi-year recurring monitoring subscriptions (RMR). Acquirers look closely at subscriber attrition rates, commercial vs. residential RMR mix, central station monitoring software, and security officer retention. At Aria Business Advisors, we articulate your contract lifetime value, RMR stability, and commercial accounts to secure peak valuation multiples.
How Aria Values Your Security Systems Company
Security valuations are driven primarily by recurring monthly monitoring revenue (RMR), contract longevity, low subscriber attrition (under 7% annual), and commercial access accounts. Alarm businesses trade at 30x to 45x+ RMR or 4.5x to 8.5x+ adjusted EBITDA.
