E-3 Visa Security Services Business Capital

Security services businesses — guard services, patrol services, alarm installation and monitoring — generate highly predictable monthly recurring revenue from commercial and residential clients. Once a security contract is signed, clients rarely switch providers due to switching costs and the critical nature of the service.

E-3 holders in security services often have military, law enforcement, or technology backgrounds that inform their business operations. The capital needs are primarily for staffing (guards must be trained and licensed before generating revenue) and equipment (vehicles, monitoring technology, alarm systems). Bankable funds security businesses on contracted recurring revenue.

The E-3 Funding Barrier

The SBA's 100% citizen/national ownership rule disqualifies every E-3 holder from government-backed loans — regardless of how long you've been in the US, how profitable your business is, or how strong your credit score is. Banks that primarily originate SBA loans have no viable product to offer you. That's not a reflection of your business quality; it's a policy gap that Bankable was built to bridge.

Revenue-based funding through Bankable requires no green card, no citizenship, and no SBA involvement. What matters: your business generates consistent revenue, has been operating for at least 6 months, and has a US business bank account. That's the core of what we evaluate.

• Guard staff must be licensed, trained, and insured before generating revenue
• Security vehicles and equipment require upfront capital investment
• Commercial liability insurance for security businesses is substantial
• Bonding requirements for commercial security contracts require financial capacity
• Alarm monitoring technology infrastructure requires significant initial investment
• Slow payment from some commercial clients creates working capital gaps

Security Contract Revenue at Bankable

Security businesses with 10+ commercial contracts generating $5K–$50K per contract per month have very strong funding profiles. The recurring nature, long contract terms (typically 1–3 years), and low client churn make security businesses among the most predictable revenue generators in the service sector. Bankable views security contract portfolios very positively in underwriting.
