Starting a bodyguard company is a difficult and risky undertaking. You need to acquire all the necessary permits and regulations before you can start the business. This will ensure that you are operating within the laws of your state. If you don't have these documents in hand, you may face serious legal problems. You should also research the procedures involved in obtaining permits and regulations.

As with any business, a bodyguard company should set up a corporate office. This office should be large enough to house the various departments of the company. This is because you can't run a bodyguard company by yourself. You need to hire and train employees. To do this, you need to post job ads and be specific about what kind of employees you need. You should also run background checks on prospective employees.

You should also get a Certificate of Occupancy (CO) from your local government authority. You should also check local zoning regulations and building codes to see if you need a permit to operate in the area. You should also make sure that you have insurance as this will ensure that you operate safely and legally.

Depending on the client's requirements, you can also request for a driver-bodyguard to accompany you on your outings. These individuals will check the vehicles in the parking lot before you leave. During the day, the bodyguards may accompany you in a car, train or plane. They will also attend meetings, dinner invitations, and functions.
