 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 |
