I would like to setup an alarm company in the Lower Mainland (Vancouver) and
would like to have a TQ installer come aboard for licensing. Commission,
plus coordinating installs. Suits semi retired.

Having an employee as a "nexus" for your licensing isn't a good idea. If he
decides to leave, you're left with nothing but a nasty letter from Security
Programs that informs you your company's license will be cancelled/suspended
until a suitable replacement is found. I'd suggest using licensed
subcontractors. As long as you have someone knowledgeable to quote your
installations, you're far better off. There are a number of individuals
that make themselves available for hire in this manner. Contact Tried, ADI,
or Burtek. Good luck!!!

Thank you for your response. Now to my understanding, I can use licensed
subcontractors but what about having the alarm repsonse monitored, are there
companies that will respond to alarm calls? Does my staff have to be
licensed.....

Thanks

Office staff do not have to be licensed.

Outside sales, technicians and installers all have to be licensed.

i.e., if you are going to be doing sales and you will be visiting clients at
their premises, you need to be licensed.

There are a couple of security runner companies in town that I have heard of
:-

Tri Force
Paladin
Provident
Intercon

To use them, you may need to setup lock box service.

As far as I know, you will need an electrical license to pull an
installation permit if your company installer is doing the install.

I've heard some good things about these guys though never used their
services.


> Paladin

Is in the alarm business as well with a ULC listed station. They will
eventually try to scoop your business. I understand they also do third
party monitoring.


> Provident

Not heard much about them. I understand they're guard service only.

> Intercon

Expensive, but worth it... They deal with the "major players", also have
their own station and security alarm division.

Securtek is strictly guard service, although the times we've tried to use
them it was difficult to get service (they have existing contracts and
customers and limited employees).

Initial is straight guard service, but they have an "arms length
relationship" with Paladin so they get priority service. The times I've had
to actually call them though, they've always come through.

Not necessarily. A "perimeter check" doesn't require keys to the premise.

If it's low voltage, only a business license is required.
