For over twelve years, Rory Russell has been president and owner of Acquisition & Funding Services (AFS). Facilitating multi-million dollar transactions, AFS specializes in mergers, acquisitions and financing in the security alarm, fire and integration industry.
In the 2006, AFS handled approximately $8 million in mergers and acquisitions for just two major clients.
In Q1 2007, AFS transacted $17.5 million dollars for fire, burglar and integration companies!
AFS's
guiding principles are quite simply doing business with integrity and honesty while
being a responsible, contributing citizen. “Do what you say. Say what you
mean.” This is all very easy to say, as many profess.
By living these guiding principles, AFS has proven to be not only a
successful, reputable business entity, but also a contributing community member.
A Message from the Owner
Over
the last twelve years, a lot has changed in the security industry marketplace.
Larger companies are expanding not only their footprints through the
acquisitions of smaller companies, but as new technologies are developed,
companies are integrating services including cable, VoIP, fire, integration, as well as security
services. As these technology trends
merge, the integrations are creating more consolidation of services as providers
are more frequently offering a packaging of services.
Those who have not succeeded in the security industry and related businesses are providers who are slow to react to the dynamic technology environment. Staying "on your toes" is key to apposite positioning. Having the right affiliations with industry leaders who are alert to this dynamic marketplace is critical to insuring that as the market "flexes", so too are the partners responsive to these often times subtle changes.
After over eleven years in this dynamic marketplace, AFS has been instrumental in helping both buyers and sellers respond quickly and profitably to these industry changes. AFS has the experience and the sensitivity to respond to the pulse of the industry. AFS has the experience and proven record in bringing the right buyers and sellers together, facilitating synergies for long-term success.
I look forward to the opportunity to help your business respond to this dynamic technology industry. Whether you are looking for capital to help your business grow, invest in other opportunities or sell your business to move on to "bigger and better things", AFS is strategically positioned to take your business forward.
Best regards,
Rory Russell, Owner, AFS
