Hi
I've recently done this and it was hard work. First thing to check is
whether there is a market in your area. Where I am there are not too
many companies who are interested in security so as well as having to
try to sell my services I also have to raise awareness that there is
an issue in the first place.
Think of the first burglar alarm salesmen, first no one wanted one,
then they started to take off in the big cities but still in rural
towns no one thought they needed one.
