The private security industry is a $50+ billion sector in the United States, with businesses ranging from single-officer guard services to multi-city protection firms. E-2 investors with security industry backgrounds — particularly from Israel (with its strong security and defense industry), Colombia (with its large private security sector), and Jamaica and other Caribbean nations (with strong security industry traditions) — have established US security companies as their E-2 investment vehicles. These businesses typically serve commercial real estate, retail, event venues, and institutional clients under monthly or annual service contracts.
Security company revenue is one of the most stable and predictable in the service industry. Guard service contracts are typically 1-3 year agreements with automatic renewals. Alarm monitoring contracts run on monthly billing with minimal churn. This recurring, contracted revenue is exactly what Bankable’s revenue-based funding is designed for — predictable income that supports consistent repayment.
