Across Australia, we’re seeing a major rise in buyer demand for security companies, especially those earning steady income from monitoring contracts — and it’s no surprise why.
If your business has strong recurring revenue from alarm monitoring, CCTV, or access control systems, you’re in the “premium” category that’s attracting multiple buyers right now.
Why Buyers Love Monitoring-Based Businesses
- Predictable monthly income
- Loyal, long-term customers
- Strong margins and scalable operations
- Easier to finance and value
Simply put, recurring revenue (RMR) turns a security business into an income-generating machine — and that’s exactly what acquirers are paying up for.
What Buyers Look For
- High percentage of revenue from monitoring
- Strong customer contracts
- Low churn rate
- Consistent ARPU and indexation
- Proper licensing and compliance
If you can show those metrics clearly, buyers will line up to talk.
Who’s Buying
- National and regional security groups expanding footprint
- Private investors and family offices
- Tech and facility management companies integrating security with IoT systems
All are chasing predictable, recurring cash flow.
