When you’re thinking about starting a business, a lot of important factors come into play: profitability, local market needs, and the ability to create something that reflects your values. For many entrepreneurs, success means more than just financial gain. It means building something meaningful. Something lasting.
At Signal, we partner with people who believe business can be a force for good. They want to lead with purpose, serve their communities, and create a lasting legacy of trust and safety. That’s what sets Signal franchise owners apart.
A Trusted Name with a Purpose-Driven Mission
Signal is a recognized global leader in mobile patrol and dedicated security services. But more importantly, we’re a brand built on peace of mind, community, and human connection. For franchise owners, this is more than an opportunity to own a business. It’s a chance to build something that creates a real impact.
Not Your Average Franchise
There are many franchise opportunities out there. What makes Signal different is the role our owners play in their communities. They are local leaders, trusted partners, and approachable figures people know they can count on.
Our services—like mobile patrols, dedicated officers, and real-time reporting through Signal EDGE—are designed to provide comfort and safety. That means your business won’t just bring in revenue. It will bring people peace of mind. And that’s something to be proud of.
Support You Can Count On
Starting a business should be exciting, not overwhelming. That’s why our franchise model includes built-in support at every step. From in-house lending and flexible repayment options to hands-on training and mentoring, we equip our owners with everything they need to succeed.
Even if you have no experience in the security industry, you can build a strong, sustainable business with Signal. If you bring the drive and the willingness to learn, we’ll bring the tools and resources.
“I would give a lot of my success to the support of the Home Office,” says Jesse Acree, owner of several Signal franchises and a former restaurateur. “If I need to talk to any of the C-suite people – from the CEO to vice presidents – they pick up the phone just for a one-off question.” Acree says that another huge benefit of owning a Signal franchise is that the Home Office takes care of things like payroll, leaving him the availability to pursue other passions in his life.
You’re not just generating income; you’re creating a legacy of trust and security that will last for generations, and we will be there to help support you every single step of the way Signal doesn’t just “get you started.” We walk the journey with you – because peace of mind is our guiding principle. When our franchise owners have peace of mind, so do their officers. And most importantly, so do the people and communities that we serve.
Built Around Your Community
Every community is different. That’s why every Signal franchise is, too. Unlike other franchise models that look the same in every city, each Signal location is built to reflect the needs of the area it serves.
Whether you need to serve residential neighborhoods, retail centers, industrial facilities, or local institutions, we help you create a plan that fits. Before you even open your doors, we’ll work with you to tailor your offerings to your local market.
Our franchise owners are never just enforcing rules or checking boxes. They are a visible, friendly presence. A resource people turn to when they need help. A steady hand in uncertain moments.
A People-First Approach
Signal officers aren’t meant to intimidate. They’re here to support. They’re trained to de-escalate situations, build relationships, and always approach their work with professionalism and care. It’s how we serve, and it’s why our brand is trusted in neighborhoods across the country.
We encourage every franchise owner to take an active role in their community—whether that’s participating in local events, supporting causes they care about, or simply showing up as a neighbor people can rely on. That’s how trust is built, and that’s what makes your work meaningful.
You’re Not in This Alone
If you’re reading this and wondering whether you can do it, the answer is yes. You can.
We’ve designed this franchise model to make sure you never have to go it alone. With Signal, you’ll have access to the kind of support most entrepreneurs only dream of—expert guidance, professional systems, collaborative peers, and a leadership team that’s always within reach.
As Jesse Acree says, “We all help each other out in every way, every day.” That sense of community runs deep among Signal franchise owners, creating an environment where people lift each other up and move forward together.
Invest in Something Bigger
Signal franchise ownership is about more than business success. It’s about making a lasting difference. When you choose Signal, you’re choosing to invest in your community’s safety, your own long-term potential, and a legacy you can be proud of.
If you’re ready to build something that matters, we’re ready to help you make it happen. Let’s create peace of mind, one community at a time. See available markets and start your Signal journey today.
