Alarm Funding Associates Officially Rebrands As Alarm Connections

Alarm Connections
May 14, 2021

Alarm Funding Associates has officially rebranded as Alarm Connections — a network of locally owned and operated alarm service companies.

Since 2005, Alarm Connections has been a trusted funding partner for hundreds of family-owned alarm companies across the country, providing the capital for continued growth and innovative services to support their operations and enhance the customer experience. The company has provided over $250 million in funding to hundreds of local alarm company owners over the last 15 years.

Alarm Connections’ mission is to ensure that all customers achieve safety and peace of mind, while receiving the highest level of customer service.

“The services that we’re providing are incredibly important and vital to protecting families and businesses within the local communities that we serve,” said Sean Forrest, chief executive officer at Alarm Connections. “It’s a responsibility that we take very seriously, and we’re continuing to build strong relationships with our partners in order to deliver an exceptional customer experience.”

The Alarm Connections’ approach is simple and effective, typically purchasing a portion of a company’s accounts, while the company continues to stay in business, maintains their brand and their relationship with the customer. As an Alarm Connections Partner, it is business as usual for the local professional alarm company.

“Accessing funding for a family-owned and operated alarm company can be accomplished without the red tape and inflated rates of borrowing money,” said Forrest. “At Alarm Connections, each partner is able to maintain full independence and identity.”

Currently, Alarm Connections has over 300 locally operated partners in the network, protecting over 100,000 families and businesses. The company is positioned for growth as they continue to expand their network across the country through new partnerships and acquisitions.
