Unit 14 Beveiliging B.v.

What Unit 14 Beveiliging B.v. does

Unit 14 Beveiliging B.V. is a Dutch licensed private security organization founded in 2001, headquartered in Bunschoten-Spakenburg with a second branch in Hilversum opened in January 2019. The company delivers mobile surveillance, alarm response and keyholding (24/7), opening/closing security rounds, periodic fire-alarm (BMI) inspections, reception services, after-hours phone answering, fire-guard services specialized for media studios, event security up to 5,000 visitors, collective surveillance for business parks and neighborhoods, and residential vacation-watch services across the Midden-Nederland region.

The underlying operating model is labor-driven rather than technology-driven: approximately 40 employees staff around 6 GPS-equipped patrol vehicles and use tablet-based site information systems to access per-property instructions and key-safe codes during alarm responses. The company holds the nationally required ND 1297 license from the Ministry of Security and Justice, is an ECABO-recognized training company, a VEB member, and a Keurmerk Beveiliging holder; all staff are police-screened.

The business model combines annual subscriptions (e.g., alarm response/keyholding from €300/year excl. BTW for commercial clients, residential collective security from €390/year excl. BTW, monthly BMI testing at €89/month) with usage-based event and incident billing priced per 15-minute increment. Go-to-market is direct field sales led by Commercial Manager Kenny van Leur, supported by website content, Google remarketing, and word-of-mouth through approximately 25 community sports sponsorships. The customer base spans business/commercial clients (primary), private/residential clients, and business-park associations, with 2,250+ customers served and select enterprise logos including AimValley, EO/AVRO TROS, De Graaf Bakeries, Speelpark Oud Valkeveen, and the Bedrijvenpark De Wieken-Vinkenhoef association.
