5 Ways to choose the right security provider for your business

Investing in the right security is paramount in ensuring the safety of your business premises, employees and customers. But how do you know you've made the right choice? Trusting an external provider can feel a little daunting, so we've put together 5 ways to help you make the right decision.

1. Qualifications

First things first, and that's qualifications! Qualifications ultimately mean proper training, and you really don't want to compromise on training when it comes to security! You can be 100% certain that every single one of our security officers at Carter Solutions and Services Limited holds a valid SIA license. We will never subcontract staff to ensure that this is the case. To find out more about what a SIA license covers, you can read our blog.

2. Flexibility

You want to ensure that the security provider you choose is flexible enough to work around your needs. This includes building a contract tailored to your business, with the right level of security to keep your business safe within your budget, of course.

3. Availability

There's nothing more frustrating than researching a security provider, only to find that they don't have the capacity to provide a service to you. You, therefore, need a company that has the availability to cater for your business. This is especially important when it comes down to services such as alarm response and keyholding -- as these rely on quick response times. Therefore, availability is more than the ability to cover shifts including manned guarding, mobile patrols and door supervisors.

4. Service area

We're proud to operate on a national scale, as a local business we've taken the time to grow in such a way that ensures the quality of the services we offer isn't compromised. By offering a national service, we know we can provide excellent security up and down the country. This means if your business has more than one location, you only need one security provider too, as Carter Solutions and Services Limited will be able to cater for your company regardless of where your business locations are.

5. Experience

With experience comes confidence, competence and knowledge that newer firms might not have. Not only does it make us excellent at understanding exactly what makes a brilliant security officer, but it means the training we provide our security guards is incredibly in-depth, and it also demonstrates that we're an established and reliable company.

For more information on how we can work with you to provide a quality security service at your business, please don't hesitate to get in touch a member of our team. We'd love to talk you through which service would work best for your business.
