I use to work for a security company it is easier when starting out to be an LLC limited liability company because you don’t want anyone to come after your personal assets. I would look at maybe State Farm Insurance for now. I have them for my LLC company. Once you are making good profits and you have established steady employees and contracts through other agencies then you can move it to a corporation and establish stocks and better insurance. I would make sure you know about Human Resources, Payroll and other financial aspects of your company because you want to know where your money is going and you will enventually have insurance for your employees Aetna is pretty good with their PPO’s and HMO’s with a lot of discounts to the company. As for employee’s you would have to have background checks on all and eventually if you contract through other agencies like Boeing, Booze Allen Hamilton example then you would have to issue clearance that you would make sure in your contract that they would pay for. I hope this helps.
