Unlike many of the websites out there that are selling generic contracts for a broad array of industries by changing a small amount of information from one contract to the next, our security services contract was written specifically and exclusively for security guard companies. It is the same exact contract that our founder Mike Evans’ security firm, USPA Nationwide, uses every day and it has proven itself time and time again.
A professionally written security services contract is one of the most important documents that your security firm will utilize; it details everything from payment terms to services that will be provided. The verbiage in our security contract is written with one goal in mind- to help protect the liability of your company through the usage of clear and concise language relating to what are and are not your firm’s responsibilities. Don’t take chances with this most critical of documents, purchase our editable contract for security services designed precisely the way you need it.

How to make it yours
Every place your business details belong is marked with a bracketed token — [YOUR COMPANY NAME], [YOUR ADDRESS], [YOUR PHONE] and so on. Search for the bracket, replace it once, and it updates wherever it appears. Sections that depend on where you operate are marked [CONSULT YOUR STATE REQUIREMENTS]. The full package includes two indemnification editions and a short guide explaining which to use; the version sold here is the limited-indemnification edition.
What it is not
It is not a subcontractor agreement — that is a separate document for when you hire another firm. It also does not set your rates: hourly, holiday and vehicle rates are bracketed fields you complete per client.
Questions
- What is the difference between the two indemnification versions?
- One limits your indemnification obligation and one does not. The full package includes both plus a guide explaining the trade-off. The version sold on this page is the limited edition.
- Does it handle multiple sites?
- Yes. Exhibit A is a task order, so one signed agreement can cover several protected premises, each with its own scope and rates.
- Can I use it in any state?
- It is written as a 50-state-safe baseline, with jurisdiction-dependent sections marked [CONSULT YOUR STATE REQUIREMENTS].
- Is it editable?
- Yes — a Word .docx you can edit, rebrand and reuse for every client.
Professionally prepared templates, not legal advice. Requirements vary by state — have an attorney review before use.
