Find out what your alarm book is really worth before you give it away.
If you’re thinking about retiring, slowing down, or you simply need cash in the bank, I’ll tell you honestly what your monitoring accounts are worth. No pressure, no obligation, and nobody else needs to know we spoke.
Completely confidential
Valuation within 48 hours
No obligation to sell
How it works
Four simple steps. No jargon.
From first message to a number in writing, usually inside 48 hours.
01
Get in touch
Fill in the short form or call me. Name, number, and roughly how many accounts you look after.
02
We run the numbers
A quick look at your monitoring income, client mix and panel types. Estimates are fine to start with.
03
You get a figure
An honest valuation in writing, with the working shown, so you can see exactly how I got there.
04
You decide
Sell now, sit on the number, or do nothing at all. If we proceed, I handle the handover properly.
You might be in one of these spots
I speak to installers at every stage. There’s no wrong reason to ask the question.
No mystery multipliers. Here’s exactly what I look at, and you’ll see the working.
01
Your recurring revenue
Monthly monitoring income is the backbone of the valuation. How much, how consistent, and how it’s billed.
02
Client mix and stickiness
Commercial or residential, how long they’ve been with you, and how many are on contract versus a handshake.
03
Equipment and panels
What’s installed out there, how old it is, and what it would take to bring the base onto modern monitoring.
04
How you want to exit
Walk away entirely, stay on for a handover, or keep doing service work. Each option changes the structure.
What’s in · what’s out
Books we buy. Books we don’t.
Saves us both time. Have a quick skim before you fill in the form.
Yes — get in touch
What we buy
Monitored alarm accounts
Residential, commercial or strata. Anything from a handful of accounts up to several hundred.
Steady recurring billing
Clients on monthly, quarterly or annual monitoring fees, even if the paperwork is a bit informal.
Mixed alarm, CCTV and access books
Cameras, access control and intercoms alongside alarms. We support the lot in-house.
Older panels and legacy gear
Ageing equipment doesn’t scare us. We upgrade sites gradually, at our cost, not your clients’.
Service and maintenance lists
Even without monitoring attached, a loyal service base has real value worth putting a number on.
Melbourne and regional Victoria
Anywhere we can service properly. Interstate books are still worth a conversation.
Not for us — but ask anyway
What we don’t buy
Install-only client lists
Names and numbers with no monitoring or service income attached don’t carry a value we can pay for.
Accounts already sold elsewhere
If the monitoring has been signed over to another provider, there’s usually nothing left to transfer.
Locked-in third party contracts
Books tied into long agreements you can’t exit. Worth checking the fine print before we talk numbers.
Stock, vans and tools on their own
We’re buying client relationships, not equipment. Gear can be included, but it isn’t what we pay for.
Accounts in long-term arrears
Clients who haven’t paid in years get set aside. The rest of your book still counts.
Not sure which side you fall on? Send the form through anyway — a two minute read costs neither of us anything.
Your clients don’t get treated like a spreadsheet
For a lot of installers this matters more than the money. These are people you’ve looked after for years, and your name is still on the job. We keep it that way.
Local Melbourne team, monitored 24/7
A proper handover letter in your words
You can stay involved as much as you like
Tell me about your book
Rough numbers are fine. I’ll come back to you within 48 hours with a figure and how I worked it out. This stays between us.
The questions I always get asked
Will anyone find out I’m asking?
Is my book too small to bother with?
How is the payment usually structured?
Do I have to stop working?
What if I don’t have tidy records?
The fine print — in plain English
We may decline a valuation.
If a book clearly isn’t for sale, is too small to be worth the exercise, or has no recurring income behind it, we’ll say so up front and explain why — rather than waste either of our time.
Offers can be revised.
If accounts turn out to be in arrears, already transferred, or the monitoring income doesn’t match what was described, the figure may be adjusted or withdrawn.
No pressure, ever.
You’re under zero obligation after a valuation. Take the offer, get a second opinion, or sit on it for a year — completely your call.
It costs you nothing and commits you to nothing. Worst case, you find out your book is worth more than you thought.
