ADT Authorized Dealer Program

30 Years of Partnerships and Success

Build a security business you actually own — backed by the brand America already trusts.

The Story

30 Years of Partnering With Entrepreneurs

In 1994, ADT launched the Authorized Dealer Program with a simple idea: partner with independent business owners who want to build something of their own.

The model: ADT provides the brand, the training, and the monitoring infrastructure. You build the business — and you own it. No franchise fees. No royalties. You own your accounts and the recurring revenue they generate.

30 years later, that partnership model hasn't changed.

Same terms. Same structure. Same opportunity for entrepreneurs who want to build a real business, not just work a sales territory.

The Opportunity

What This Is — And What It Isn't

You Own It

This is your business — your customers, your team, your profits. No franchise fees. No ongoing royalties. No corporate oversight telling you how to run your operation.

ADT installation

You Run It

You sell, install, and service security systems in your territory. This is a hands-on operating business, not a passive investment. You build the team. You do the work.

ADT Corporate Headquarters

ADT Backs It

You get the brand trust of America's most recognized security company, plus training, 24/7 monitoring infrastructure, and weekly funding for completed installs.

Not for Everyone

Ability to Install or Hire Installers

You'll need technicians to mount equipment and program systems.

Licensing (State Dependent)

Most states require a security installer license. We'll guide you.

Ready to Start Within 90 Days

We're looking for operators ready to move — not casual browsers.

Leadership & Ownership Mindset

You're building a company. That means hiring, managing, and selling.
