 Question

***************

Ken,

    I own and operate an alarm company based in Minneapolis, Minnesota.  I'm wondering how other companies go about purchasing small alarm companies?    I have the opportunity to purchase a smaller company 300 + accounts and have heard about the 3 x annual alarm monitoring revenue. Do you have any recommendations?

GN

Answer

****************

    Yes,  several in fact.  If you follow the first suggestion then you won't have to worry too much about the others.  

    So first bit of advice, hire a lawyer who knows about alarm transactions.  Actually, you should hire me to guide and advise you through the process.  It doesn't have to be complicated but plenty of mistakes can be made,  Although you describe your potential transaction as purchasing a small alarm company, the one you mention, with 300 accounts, is likely to sell for around $220,000.  That is a lot of money, even for you rich guys in MN.  

    Some of the selling alarm companies are represented by alarm brokers.  Good and reputable ones are listed in The Alarm Exchange.  They know about alarm transactions.  If they're not representing the seller then they can assist you with the transaction, with structuring, financing, due diligence or recommending others to perform those matters.  [if they recommend an attorney other than me let me know !!]  Do not let them do legal work for you - and I am sure none of them will try.  Or accounting work either, unless it's Mitch Reitman.  

    Alarm company assets typically sell based on a multiple of the monthly recurring revenue.  That multiple can and does     vary greatly however based on a number of factors, discussion of which is well beyond this response.  There are several articles on this topic and how to value alarm accounts that can be found in prior articles.  You can access those articles here, and you can find a topic by using your Search and Find feature in your tool bar.  

       A quicker way to get a good idea of what alarm assets are worth is by going to WhatsMyAlarmCompanyWorth.com, and you can do that if you're buying or selling.  It's fast, cheap and reliable enough so that you have a very good idea if your deal is within proper monetary range.  

    I know some alarm guys have done lots of deals and often on their own, cutting and pasting from former deals they have done.  You know who you are.  It's stupid.  You're spending $200,000 to $2 million and you can't allocate $5000 to $10K for proper legal representation?  If the deal is smooth, legal is less.  Complicated or contentious, more.  

So go buy the accounts for 36 times.  Sounds good.

Wanted:  Big Old Fire Panel Cabinets
We have a project that could put some old white elephants to work. I am hunting for one or two big old steel fire alarm cabinets like the Simplex or Standard time products often used in schools. I am not looking for operating fire alarms. I just need some large wall hung cabinets. It does not matter if they have old components inside or not. I figure there are some of these out there past their prime that are not worth the space they are occuping and can be had for a few dollars. We are in Edison New Jersey and really don't want to travel the globe for these. If you have one available within New Jersey, please call Jerry at 732-672-6649. Lets make a deal.
