CCTV installation could be a good business if done right. There are a few key things to focus on from the start in order to succeed. First is getting properly certified so you understand the technical aspects of the job and can do installations to a high standard safely. Customers will want to know their security system is being installed by a qualified professional. Another important thing is choosing the right equipment suppliers that offer quality products with good warranties. You don't want to use cheap gear that isn't reliable in the long run and might require constant replacing under warranty. Building a reputation as a company that provides great customer service is also essential. Customers need to feel confident that if any issues come up after the install, they can contact you easily to have it looked at quickly. Finally, having the capital upfront to purchase tools, permits and starting inventory of cameras and recorders is key. You may need to do some part-time work at first while exploring funding options. If you focus on these areas - certification, equipment quality, customer service and funding - a CCTV installation business has real potential for success.
