When it comes to private security, the main question that people want to know the answer to is
‘how much does a personal bodyguard cost?’ and as much as we’d love to be able to give you a direct answer, to be honest it’s just not as simple as a flat rate.
Firstly, when you start with any elite-level security company, you will be asked a series of questions to identify exactly what you need and how many people you require to protect you. From there, they will then determine what level and experience your BG (Bodyguard) needs to have to carry out the task in hand.
Below is a list of some of the questions you will likely be asked:
1. When would you like the task to begin?
2. How long do you require the service for?
3. Is this protection for an individual, family or business?
4. Is there a specific threat that you are worried about?
These are just some of the basic questions that you should expect to be asked. Once we have
established an outline of what it is you need and why you believe you require a BG, there is another important question, and that is “Are you looking for the cheapest quote or are you looking for a specific person with the skills required?”
You have to remember as an elite-level security provider, it is not just about whether VIS Protection is the right company for you, but if you are the right client for us.
I’ll give you an example of why this matters.
Example rate:
Entry level (Close Protection Licensed) Security Operative earns = £150 + for a 12hr period.
So, for someone wanting to know...
'How much does 24 hour security cost?'
A short answer could be - Starting at £300 for one operative on duty at a time.
In reality, a lot more will go in to working out a quote taking into consideration how many operatives are required and the experience they have.
This entry-level rate is just above minimum wage in London. Now, entry level means just that, it means they have passed a course to get a license, it doesn’t mean they have any experience on-the-job or more importantly, the experience needed to carry out the task you require them for!
If you want to pay the cheapest rates possible, it will probably not be reasonable to expect anything more than the lowest level of protection. As a company, we have standards and a wealth of experience, and so do the security contractors that work for us.
At VIS Protection we only employ Military and Police veterans that not only are trained to the highest standards, but also have experience working at all levels of society. From protecting Government and Embassies, to high-profile individuals, celebrities, ultra-high net worth people, families and businesses across the UK, Ireland as well as some of the most high-risk environments on the planet.
When you choose VIS to protect you, your family, your assets or your business you are investing in total peace of mind, which in our professional opinion, is priceless!
