If you have asked yourself any of the above questions then our unique franchise opportunity offers a rewarding professional career in a self-operating business.
The Protech name carries the reputation of an established and very successful security company, which together with your comprehensive training in all aspects of our business will provide you with you the foundation on which to establish and build your own business quickly, efficiently and profitably and to have a rewarding, adventurous career in the TSCM Security profession.
Protech Security Services provides counter surveillance and bug sweeping services for private and corporate customers.
Our fully trained and experienced Investigators can offer discreet and confidential bug sweeping and counter surveillance services to individuals or businesses who suspect they are being spied-on, or simply want to ensure their privacy is maintained.
The ever increasing availability of audio and video bugs available on the market from high street shops and the internet make it relatively easy for someone to spy on you and listen in to your conversations and in the case of video bugs, actually see what you are doing in the privacy of your own home or business.
Advances in technology have resulted in the availability of cheap audio and video bugs that can transmit your private information to anyone who wishes to see or hear it, anywhere in the world. These advanced surveillance devices can be disguised or hidden out of sight
A bug sweep carried out by our specially trained Investigators is effectively the only way to locate these devices and remove them. These bugs often come disguised as household objects, or are cleverly built into something you may already own.
Small listening bugs can even be placed under furniture, inside electrical equipment, inside walls or under floorboards.
As a Protech franchisee you will be fully trained and equipped to provide a wide range of commercial and domestic sweeping services.
