Industry Qualification
Security Companies fall under an eligible industry classification (Security Guards and Patrol Services). Security firms pay guards weekly and bill clients monthly, and the review reads how the business carries that payroll gap.
✓ Checking what a security company qualifies for does not affect your credit score.
Guard and patrol companies invoice commercial, residential and event clients on monthly or biweekly cycles, often with net-30 terms, while officers are paid every week or two.
Funding typically covers payroll for new contracts, patrol vehicles, licensing and training, or technology like guard-tour systems.
