For Businesses
Keep Your Business Secure with a Funded Security Scheme
Commercial premises in eligible regions can apply for a discretionary contribution towards alarm systems, CCTV, access control and maintenance takeovers.
Why Your Business Benefits
From reducing risk to keeping insurers happy, modern commercial security pays for itself — and the grant takes a meaningful chunk out of the upfront cost.
Reduce break-in risk
Visible alarms, signage and external CCTV deter opportunistic and targeted attacks on commercial premises.
Lower insurance premiums
Certified, maintained alarm and CCTV systems can unlock better commercial insurance rates.
Protect stock, staff & site
Cover entry points, stockrooms, tills and yards with zoned protection tailored to your premises.
Remote visibility
Live camera feeds, alarm arming and event alerts to your phone — wherever you are.
Insurer-approved standards
Installations are completed to commercial grading expected by insurers and licensing bodies.
Funded contribution
The grant reduces upfront capital outlay so you can secure your business without straining cashflow.
