MAJOR CANADIAN INVESTMENT FUND AND GLOBALTEK SECURITY INC. FORGE STRATEGIC ALLANCE AVAILING MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR INVESTMENT POOL FOR DEALER PROGRAM FINANCING.
For Immediate Release:
GlobalTek Security Inc. (GlobalTek) has forged a strategic alliance with a multi-million-dollar investment pool, to provision financing for scaled growth to pre-existing Authorized Dealer Program.
Our funding programs will interest potential dealers desiring uniform payout schedules and fast (even weekly) funding, but also to those wishing to provide financing options to their new or existing clients for larger projects, such as multi-camera CCTV installations, fire suppression systems, and large industrial-grade card access platforms.
Our Background
GlobalTek Security began operations in 2002, as a technician contracting company. Then named “AK TECH,” its prime operations included subbing its roster of technicians to other security companies to satisfy their overflow requirements on a needs-only basis.
During the 2000s, AK TECH built an industry-wide reputation by providing quality and timely work to many the major security brands including but not limited to:
ADT Canada
A.P.I. Alarm
Reliance Protectron Security Services
Security 24 Monitoring
Alliance Security
Logan Alarm
Protection Plus
Counterforce Corporation
Chubb Edwards (dealer channel)
Chubb Edwards (corporate channel)
And many more “authorized dealers” and independents
In September 2006, Regional Protection Security Inc. was officially created and incorporated (RP Security). Largely a sales and marketing outfit, RP Security found its first home through the wholesale channel at Reliance Protectron (Security 24), as an authorized security dealer.
Though largely operating as a sub-dealer its first three years, by the 2010s however, RP Security had established itself as a bona fide “direct dealer” with the wholesale division of Reliance Protectron, having built a respectable subscriber base within a relatively short timeframe.
ADT Security Purchases Reliance Protectron
May 1st, 2014 the announcement came that ADT Security was acquiring Reliance Protection. Wishing not to continue relations under what would now be ADT, RP Security migrated its subscriber base to the residential division of UTC Fire & Security, Counterforce Corporation.
Strategic Alliance
AK TECH, now operating as ANK Security, landed a contracting relationship with Counterforce/Chubb Edwards during the mid 2010s. RP Security penned its dealer agreement at Counterforce shortly after ANK signed its contract, thus making a strategic alliance in late 2014 a natural fit for both companies, as they were now both operating under the same corporate umbrella.
SecurityProfessional.ca and the Rise of GlobalTek Security
In early 2015, RP Security and ANK Security launched Ontario’s first white label technician service desk. Unlike other third-party contractors availing their services to the security industry, their service desk had a distinct value proposition.
They operated exclusively under the “SecurityProfessional.ca” white label brand, promising no markers or affiliations to ANK Security or RP Security. This removed any perceived conflicts of interest with vendors, while alleviating customer confusion in the process, as customers generally viewed them as an extension of the company they were operating on behalf of.
It was the success of their white label service desk (via ANK) that helped bankroll the several hundred subscribers acquired by RP Security’s sales desk during the late 2014 and 2015 period.
Industry Recognition, Affiliations, and Media Spots
In late 2015, RP Security and ANK formally joined forces to form GlobalTek Security Inc. to further grow and establish its brand under their new business model of running a “double desk” in unison.
While always a member of the Canadian Security Association (CANASA), in 2016 GlobalTek was nominated to a vacant seat for CANASA’s Golden Horseshoe Council. GlobalTek won the seat unanimously and has successfully held it since 2016.
In January 2017, GlobalTek Security was confirmed as Counterforce’s fastest growing wholesale dealer. In Spring 2017, the Niagara Entrepreneur of the Year Awards (NEYA) recognized their atypical growth story and nominated them for their “Emerging Entrepreneur” category. In Summer 2017 CHCH news ran a television spot on the benefits of camera surveillance and deferred to GlobalTek to provide authoritative insights on the industry’s latest technology.
Service Desk Discontinuation and Account Rebranding,
With now a quadruple-digit in-house subscriber base and a healthy balance sheet, GlobalTek made the executive decision to close its white label service desk in December 2018, to redouble its focus on national growth and account acquisition. The “SecurityProfessional.ca” white label URL, now exists solely as a web-forward to their existing company website.
In 2018, all GlobalTek accounts rebranded from “station-side” to “dealer-side” to better streamline their processes and reduce the company to a singular brand for business purposes. GlobalTek Security cut all ties with Counterforce Corporation in 2019 and broke out as a stand-alone company.
In 2020, GlobalTek Security further specialized and fully siloed their longstanding medic alert division and rebranded it as Life Guardian by GlobalTek (www.lifeguardianmobile.com). Penning a national and exclusive partnership with Bayshore Healthcare, their alliance is unique and an industry first. Bayshore Healthcare is Canada’s largest senior home healthcare provider, boasting over 350,000 patients nation wide, and refers all national inquires for medic alert devices to Life Guardian exclusively.
2021 and Beyond
GlobalTek Security would like to speak with security dealers who wish to remain dealers, and not become pseudo extensions of the corporate brands they represent by continuously servicing, providing ongoing administrative support, and retaining on-call installation technicians—all to service accounts they don’t even own. This is unfortunately indicative of most dealer programs today. All these additional functions drag sales and hurt your dealer business.
GlobalTek also does bulk acquisitions from security companies wanting to monetize their account base and/or wind down their business. And GlobalTek is always interested to talk to investors wanting to park their money at competitive interest rates.
They welcome security companies, dealers, medic alert vendors, and investors alike to call anytime to discuss opportunities.
