Security Management.

Just looking for some information on a small security management firm start up,

Certifications and Licenses, {Basic Guarding and Door Security will be only services provided}
Laws,
Liability insurance,
Also a separate branch for Private Investigation what laws exist in Ireland for Private Investigation,

I done research and have started communication with the PSA, But would like information off someone that has a bit more of an insight in this field, before i empty the bank account. I have numerous licences and certs by the PSA and SIA, But is their a separate licences to be a partner in such a business.

The reason i ask here is i heard the PSA are undergoing a change in the way it regulates the Private Security Sector, Just want to gain as much info as possible.

Also due to priory contacts once established we have arranged a short contract on a medium retail firm here in Ireland, with the possibility of a long term contract.
