Buying or Selling alarm accounts!

[Matthew Stanley]

I have a question. Has anyone sold or bought accounts from another alarm
company to grow or downsize? if so, what would you expect to pay..


Im looking to buy accounts but I really dont know what a fair price would be
for a group of them... say 10 or 50 at a time...

The rates I have seen are from 24 to 39 times the monthly.
Many variables to consider that revlove around the type of contracts in
place, the age of the account, the type of equipment, and type of account.

I bought an account base once. About 50 accounts. I didn't pay anywhere
near the multiple I see talked about here. I also considered selling out my
accounts once, and not only was I not impressed by the multiple discussed, I
was eventually told I just didn't have enough accounts to interest them.

I would actually like to sell my acounts and take a couple years off from
contracting, but I won't abandon my customers to the borg, and I won't be
screwed just to sell them.

I would expect to pay for seasoned accts (accts online for more than 3 yrs) 500 dollars per acct,.
I also sold accts right after installation and the MMR is 29 - 32 times the multiple per month.

I have 15 more accts to sell if your interested 207 745 4690 THESE accts are only 1.5 yrs old and are under agreement for 5 yrs. 500 per would work for me.
