While AI Replaces Jobs,
Security Dealers Are Hiring.
Algorithms can't install alarm systems. Robots can't climb ladders. AI can't shake a customer's hand. Own a full-service security business that's built to last.
AI Is Coming for White-Collar Jobs. Not This One.
Every day there's a new headline: AI replacing writers, designers, programmers, and accountants. But here's what AI can't do:
Sell Face-to-Face
AI can't knock on a door, walk a homeowner through their security needs, or build the trust that closes deals. Sales is human.
Install the System
AI can't mount cameras, run wires through walls, program panels, or troubleshoot on-site. Installation requires hands, ladders, and problem-solving.
Service the Customer
When something needs fixing, a technician shows up. When a customer has questions, a human answers. AI can't replace relationships.
The home security industry isn't getting disrupted — it's growing. And it needs business owners who can sell, install, and service. Not algorithms.
A "Boring" Industry With Exciting Margins.

Dealer Gross Profit Potential
While tech startups burn cash chasing AI dreams, ADT dealers collect checks from day one. No venture capital. No runway. No pivot. Just profit.
You Run the Business. ADT Powers the Backend.
As an ADT Authorized Dealer, you own and operate a full-service security company.
You Sell
Find customers, close deals, and grow your pipeline. Homeowners, renters, small businesses — the demand is everywhere and you capture it.
You Install
You or your team handle the physical installation — mounting equipment, running wires, programming systems. This is where the real work happens.
You Service
Build long-term customer relationships. Handle service calls, maintenance, and upgrades. Happy customers refer more customers.
What ADT Brings to the Table
Brand Trust
Leverage 150+ years of brand recognition. Customers already know and trust ADT.
Training & Onboarding
World-class training to get you and your team up to speed fast.
Monitoring Services
ADT runs the 24/7 monitoring center. You install, they watch.
Weekly Funding
Get paid weekly for completed installations. Predictable cash flow.
You Own It. You Build It. You Keep the Profits.
What You DON'T Have
What You DO Have
This isn't a job disguised as a business. It's a real company that you build, run, and own.

Built for Operators, Not Opportunity Seekers
This isn't a "make money online" scheme. It's a real business that requires real work.
You might be a fit if:
We're not for everyone. And that's the point. ADT is selective about who joins the dealer network because your success is our success.
What It Takes to Get Started
$10K–$15K Working Capital
This is YOUR money for YOUR business — not a fee to ADT. It covers recruiting, marketing, equipment, and operating expenses while you ramp up.
Ability to Install (Or Hire Installers)
You'll need to do installations yourself or build a team of technicians who can. This is a hands-on business — the install is where value is delivered.
Licensing (State Dependent)
Most states require a license to install security systems. We'll guide you through what's needed in your area and help you get compliant.
Leadership & Hustle
You're building a company. That means hiring, training, selling, managing, and grinding — especially in the early days. If that excites you, you're in the right place.
