Richmond, VA - Profitable Security Franchise w/ Major Territory Rights
Business Description
Own 3 VA territories | $0 down | Day-one cash flow & growth upside
At Signal Security (https://www.teamsignal.com/), step into a major growth opportunity with exclusive development rights across three major territories in Richmond’s booming western corridor—Short Pump, Henrico, Midlothian, and Petersburg.

With $0 cash required up front, 100% corporate financing, and projected territory value appreciation of 66% by 2029, this is an ideal launchpad for a motivated operator.
