Robert H. Perry & Associates, Incorporated (RHPA) was founded by Robert H. Perry in 1977. Prior to starting the firm, Mr. Perry was a partner in a Certified Public Accounting firm where he advised corporate clients in areas of taxation, auditing and general managerial matters. RHPA was originally formed as an intermediary boutique managing the sale of companies in the general middle market sector.

Our experience in managing the sale of security guard companies began in 1981, when we managed the sale of a privately-held security guard company to a New York Stock Exchange conglomerate. Through our involvement in this sale, we realized that the security guard industry was beginning a consolidation period that would (and has) lasted for several years. The owners of these companies who wanted to sell needed a professional firm to represent them; one that is without conflict of interest with the buyer population; one that can advise on the expected price before putting the company on the market; and one that has the experience to manage the unique selling process and confidentiality aspects for security guard companies.

“We became the only firm that could offer these services to the security guard industry.”

In 2004, at the request of several international multi-services security conglomerates, we extended our transaction management expertise to the security systems integration and central station alarm sector and created a new division to serve owners of companies in these industries.

Our Firm Today
Today, our firm exclusively represents sellers of security guard, security systems integration and central station alarm companies. We only represent sellers, which eliminates any conflicts of interest in our transaction engagements. Through our proven methods and commitment to our seller/clients, we can successfully represent sellers located in North and South America, Europe and the Middle East.
