Advanced Protection Systems (APS)

Welcome to Advanced Protection Systems

Security is at the forefront of everyone's mind these days - it's estimated that a domestic burglary takes place every four minutes here in the UK. And 64% of businesses have experienced at least one crime over the past year.

With changes in police response policy proposed by the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO), standard alarms have been proven to be of no real value - for every incident, the police now need confirmation that a burglary is taking place before they will attend, meaning that over 90% of burglar alarms are ignored.

So here at Advanced Protection Systems, we have developed a unique 24-hour monitored security system, to protect not only properties but also the people within them.

Since our foundation in 2002, Advanced Protection Systems has achieved a great deal; our units are installed in a variety of big blue-chip organisations - clients include Travelodge, Marriot Hotels, Toshiba and a number of large pub chains - a feat of which we are all immensely proud.

So, how do we plan to stay ahead?

Quite simply, we need to continue to do what we do best - to make sure we have the technology and the know-how to protect our customers. Not only our existing customers, but a whole range of new customers, too.

This website gives you details of the approach that we strongly believe will keep us satisfying our customers, and ahead of our competitors, for many years to come. Once you've had a chance to read the website, I hope you'll share our excitement and enthusiasm for the APS system.

The APS Complete Protection System

APS provides a true 24 hour two-way monitored system that provides:

  • Instant Communication
  • Fire Detection
  • Assistance Request
  • Intruder Alert
  • Pets & Family
  • Medical Assistance
  • Privacy Assured
  • Cost Effective Protection
How the APS system works
  • The APS System has a built in communication system, which having detected a forced entry, will automatically dial the Monitoring Centre.
  • Your details appear on a secure screen and your Personal Incident Manager now has a direct two way line of communication into your home through the unit.
  • The APS System does not use the passive infra red detectors unlike other conventional systems - its unique sensor reacts to the change in air pressure that is caused by a forced entry.
  • It does this by measuring low frequency shock waves - 'infrasounds' (inaudible to the human ear) associated with a forced entry through a door or window etc.
  • The APS System is a small discreet white box fixed to an internal wall in your home which contains up to date intruder/fire detection and home monitoring technology.
  • The APS System includes a separate Optical Smoke Detector that, not only activates a siren , but contacts the Monitoring Centre direct to notify the emergency services.
  • The APS System takes approximately 1 hour to install with access to a standard telephone socket and 13 amp power supply.
  • The APS System does not rely on you picking up a telephone to speak to the Monitoring Centre.
  • The APS Monitoring Centre contacts you directly through its innovative digital communication speaker installed in the unit.
  • The APS System comes with an Assistance Request Button that once pressed immediately contacts the Monitoring Centre even when the system is in the off position.

The APS Franchise Opportunity

Why APS is franchising

The team at Advanced Protection Systems has achieved much in a very short space of time, and is ready to take the next step in the long-term development of the Advanced Protection Systems brand. The formation of Advanced Protection Systems (Franchising) Limited is designed to help us work with a network of franchisees, each of whom can provide our unique security product and accessories designed to meet the needs of both the residential and business community. Unfortunately, crime in the UK is continually growing, thus providing a stable background of growth and opportunity for every franchisee. Advanced Protection Systems has a successful track record, and is in a strong position to develop the franchise concept - we know our business, and we will work with our franchisees to make sure that they know it too.

Advanced Protection Systems is attracted to franchising because we want to attain national and regional coverage at the earliest opportunity, in order to be able to capitalise on the growth opportunities presented by the ongoing security concerns of both individuals and businesses; we are confident that by working with our franchisees we can more quickly develop a truly nationwide brand and identity, one that will quickly become even more widely known throughout the UK. The security market presents an ideal franchise opportunity; the Advanced Protection Systems product range is one that is required by all individuals and by all businesses, large or small. We cannot deny that as a commercial operation we want to achieve more wealth and we can do that more easily by helping you to make money. And the joy is that our franchise business model is very straightforward - relatively low investment levels are needed in equipment, people, premises or administration.

We are actively looking for franchisees with strong people and business skills, people who wish to achieve high levels of rewards and earn what they feel they are worth, and we believe such people will be attracted to an Advanced Protection Systems franchise opportunity. By working together with people who share our own ambition and desire for excellence, we can all succeed. Click here for more information.

The Franchise Package

The Advanced Protection Systems franchise offers you the opportunity to launch and operate an Advanced Protection Systems business within a specified territory, offering your customers the same unique 24-hour two-way monitored security system offered by the franchisor. This product is unique to Advanced Protection Systems, and cannot be obtained anywhere else in the UK. Our franchisees also benefit from ongoing monthly income for every customer they sign up, as a result of the system's monitoring service.

All franchisees are granted a licence to operate an Advanced Protection Systems franchise for a period of five years, which is renewable, at your option, for further periods of five years subject to contract. Each Advanced Protection Systems franchisee is given an area of prime responsibility, an exclusive area where you can sell to your own customers and promote your business. The initial fee for this opportunity is £19,600 plus VAT, although it is worth noting that we have set aside a substantial amount of this initial fee to fund launch sales and marketing activities within your exclusive territory.

The projected gross profit for year one is nearly £31,000*, with year two rising to an impressive £88,000* and year three to more than £109,000* - more if you employ an additional sales person. Every Advanced Protection Systems franchisee receives full training prior to commencement of the franchise, as well as on an ongoing basis. The training and induction programme includes an introduction to Advanced Protection Systems, sales and marketing skills and product and technical training, as well as an introduction to the company's systems and how to manage your business' finances.

A stock of promotional material is included within the starter pack, which also includes branded stationery, business cards and a prospect list for sales generation within your own territory, together with the software to enable you to manage that database. You will also receive lots of marketing support, both to launch your franchise and on an ongoing basis. As a franchisee, we offer you the opportunity to operate your business following the Advanced Protection Systems format, with dedicated support from us. Each Advanced Protection Systems franchisee has access to our Operating Manual, which in essence lays out all of the processes and procedures that Advanced Protection Systems has developed and still follows in order to achieve its winning formula.

This business is then yours to develop to its optimum size; but please remember that you are free to sell your business if at any stage you want to realise the investment you have made. Click here for more information.

This wholly comprehensive, hands-on service makes it less time-consuming and expensive for you to open a franchised outlet than the equivalent completely independent concern. We already know what and what not to do - we've seen and done it all several times before. So we can help you to avoid making costly mistakes.

An established name Advanced Protection Systems is a solid, reputable and profitable company that has established and maintained a winning formula, as well as a respected reputation. When you choose to work with us, you automatically acquire a recognisable name, image and built-in goodwill. You will have a standing that might normally take many months - or more probably, years - to earn if you operated on your own. Click here for more information.

Continual support and guidance

Advanced Protection Systems is willing and able to help a franchisee as and when necessary - no matter where, no matter when. As well as providing you with an Operating Manual that specifies all of the ingredients of a successful venture, we also have dedicated troubleshooting experts on call to answer queries and resolve problems.

Our franchisees will have access to all our ongoing product research, and will be able to participate in updating training programmes, enjoy the benefits of our bulk buying and be included in regional and national marketing campaigns.

This back-up support will enable you to concentrate on administering your business on a daily basis, without the never-ending pressure of needing to devise policies, systems and procedures as you go along. Compare this to a sole trader who constantly has to make far-reaching decisions, select alternative courses of action, worry whether the right choices have been made and often suffer the consequences if and when things go wrong.

At the same time, your operating costs ought to be lower than those of the sole trader who cannot benefit from group research and development, buying and advertising arrangements.
