Keystone Business Advisors Facilitates Perma-Guard Security Sale to Bay Alarm
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Westlake Village, CA)— Keystone Business Advisors recently announced that Bay Alarm has acquired Los Angeles, California-based Perma-Guard Security Systems, Inc. Perma-Guard had retained Dave Richards, President and M&A Advisor, of Keystone Business Advisors to represent them to manage and negotiate the sale of their company.
“Due to the nature of the alarm industry coupled with certain operation dynamics within the company, we focused our marketing efforts targeting strategic buyers. We believed the best way to achieve a strong valuation was to focus on existing industry players who could absorb meaningful fixed operating cost such as the company’s in-house monitoring operations which would immediately increase bottom line profitability. After discussing the company with several California-based alarm companies, we quickly realized the Bay Alarm was the best fit. Bay Alarm valued Perma-Guard’s high concentration of business customers and was able to reduce the company’s operational overhead by 50% which enabled Perma-Guard to achieve its price.” stated Dave Richards of Keystone Business Advisors.
Helen Linden, a principal of Perma-Guard, stated “Dave Richards is an extraordinary broker and we are thrilled that we chose him to negotiate the sale of our 42-year-old business. Dave made sure that both parties were always on track and successfully navigated during some tough issues. Dave earned our respect by his consistency, experience and above all his integrity.”
