Quick answer
What is Guard Services 2.0?
Guard Services 2.0 is how a man-only guard company becomes a full security business. You add integration services, live monitoring, equipment, off-duty police and freight tracking under your own name, with no capital up front. Technology and automation give your customer more coverage for a lower bill, and a low-margin man-only account becomes a high-margin one.
Technology-enabled guarding vs. the traditional man-only model
Guard Services 2.0: five new revenue streams
Coming 1 January 2027: Drones and robotics. A sixth revenue stream, sold the same way, with no capital up front. More revenue streams follow in the coming months, on the same terms.
White label security services: how it works
You sell it as your own. It is your name on the proposal and your contract with the customer. Behind you, the work is done by business partners I have trusted for at least ten years, some for more than twenty. They did this work for me at SAIA, CEVA Logistics and Crane Worldwide. They handle the build, the equipment, the logistics, the billing and the paperwork. You hire no new staff. MTC Group carries no quota on any product. One point of contact, me, from the first account on.
Optional: supercharge it with the team that built ours
You can run Guard Services 2.0 with your own marketing team and no capital. We also offer a full marketing and sales build through our partner, a subject matter expert who built my marketing and sales system on Claude AI, end to end, in 30 days.
Our partner is a founder and CEO who has spent eleven years running marketing and sales for seven, eight and nine-figure brands, writes a weekly newsletter on AI for business with more than 20,000 subscribers, and speaks on major business stages. Clients rate the company 4.7 out of 5 on Trustpilot.
Our partner builds the whole engine, AI end to end. Lead generation brings prospects in. The funnel asks the questions that show who is a real buyer. An AI assistant books only the qualified ones onto your salespeople's calendars. It replaces nobody. Your salespeople stop chasing and spend their time closing, which means more margin from the team you already have. You get a large part of your day back.
It is the one investment in Guard Services 2.0, and it is optional. Ask about it on your Strategy Call.

How small and mid-size guard companies compete
I spent thirteen years on the buyer's side of the guard contract, and some of my best business partners were family-owned and regional guard companies. The largest guard companies keep buying the smaller ones. I watched them take accounts at a loss, then raise the price year after year.
At SAIA, technology in place of guard posts held the guard budget at its 2012 level, and the savings paid for more layers. With Guard Services 2.0, a regional guard company offers all five services in all 50 states.
