What We Do
Montreal Security Guards is a referral service for the security industry. When a Montreal business needs guards — for a construction site, an office building, an event, a warehouse — we connect them with licensed security providers who do that work every day.
Think of us the way you'd think of a good general contractor referral: we know the market, we know who's reliable, and we match your specific need with the right provider. You get a free quote. The provider gets a qualified client. Everyone's time is respected.
What We Are Not
We are not a security agency. We do not hold a BSP agency licence because we do not operate security services — we refer clients to those who do. We do not employ guards, supervisors, or patrol staff. Every guard placed through our network works for a licensed provider, not for us.
This distinction matters under Quebec law. The Private Security Act requires anyone operating a security business to hold an agency licence, and every individual guard to hold an agent licence. By staying in our lane as a referral service, we keep the compliance burden where it belongs: with the licensed operators doing the actual security work.
Why This Model Works for Montreal
Montreal's security market is fragmented. There are large national firms, mid-size regional companies, and small local operators — each with different strengths, coverage areas, and pricing. A construction contractor in Anjou needs something different from a festival organizer downtown or a condo board in Westmount.
Most businesses don't have the time or expertise to evaluate all these options. They Google, they call two companies, they pick whoever answers first. That's how you end up overpaying — or worse, with an unlicensed operator.
Our network includes providers across these segments. When you describe your need, we match you with providers who actually specialize in that kind of work, in your area, at your budget level.
Our Standards for Partners
We work with providers who:
- Hold valid BSP agency licences in the appropriate class
- Employ guards who hold valid BSP agent licences
- Carry the liability insurance Quebec requires
- Have a track record serving Montreal-area clients
- Respond to quote requests promptly and professionally
Serving Greater Montreal
We're built for this market specifically — not a national directory with a Montreal page bolted on. Our providers cover the island of Montreal, Laval, the South Shore, the North Shore, and the West Island. From downtown office towers to Mirabel industrial parks, we know the territory.
