Fast Guard Service

What Fast Guard Service does

Fast Guard Service is a privately held, fully licensed, bonded, and insured U.S. private security company founded in August 2013 and headquartered at 925 S 21ST Ave, Hollywood, Florida. The company delivers armed and unarmed security guard services, fire watch guards, executive protection/bodyguard services, event security, mobile patrol, private investigation, CCTV installation, and mobile solar-powered surveillance trailers to commercial, industrial, residential, healthcare, financial, educational, and VIP customers across all 50 U.S. states via a network of over 700 affiliates and offices. Its core differentiator is the proprietary FAST GUARD APP, a mobile platform providing real-time reporting, GPS tracking of deployed personnel, digital incident logs, and instant 24/7 booking — positioned as the operational accountability layer across all service lines.

The business model is primarily professional services billing on an hourly or quote-based pay-as-you-go cadence, with bodyguard rates of $30-150 per hour and high-risk or 24/7 engagements exceeding $1,000 per day. Distribution is multi-channel: a self-serve mobile app and instant-quote website (securityguardbank.com) target SMBs and individuals, while 24/7 phone sales and enterprise field teams target Fortune 500, government, healthcare, and financial clients. Recent strategic activity (Oct 2025 app upgrade, Dec 2025 nationwide guard expansion, Apr 2026 California fire watch expansion tied to 2026 NFPA 25 regulatory changes, and Jun 2026 vacant property monitoring launch) signals aggressive offensive expansion across geographies and verticals. The company is founder/owner-operated with no disclosed institutional funding, no public listing, and 11-50 internal employees — indicating a hub-and-spoke operating model that leverages affiliates for fulfillment rather than a traditional direct-employment guard firm.
