Questions people ask us.
If yours isn’t here, ask it directly — a private enquiry costs nothing.
Is everything really confidential?
Yes. An NDA comes as standard with every engagement and binds us permanently. We do not discuss who we protect — which is also why you will not find a single client name anywhere on this site. The discretion we show them is the discretion you will get.
Are your officers licensed and insured?
Every officer holds a current SIA Close Protection licence and is vetted to BS 7858. Insurance cover is arranged and confirmed in writing before any officer is deployed; we do not make a blanket insurance claim on this site until our own cover is bound.
See our credentials →Can you provide armed protection?
Not in Great Britain — no private security firm lawfully can, and we'd treat any firm implying otherwise as a warning sign. Overseas is a different question: in jurisdictions where armed protection is lawful, it is delivered by locally licensed third parties, never by us — we introduce and coordinate, and our own officers are never armed.
Read the full answer →How much does a bodyguard cost?
Typically £300–£1,000 per officer per day in the UK; most London work £400–£600. The honest figure for your situation takes one conversation.
Read the full cost guide →Do I actually need a full-time bodyguard?
Usually not. Most clients need less than they expect. A short assessment tells you honestly, rather than selling you the largest option.
About our risk assessments →Do you provide female close protection officers?
Yes — same licence, same vetting, same standard. Often the right answer for family work.
Female close protection →How quickly can you start?
For driving and close protection, often at short notice — from 24 hours’ notice. Residential surveys are scheduled promptly, usually within the week.
Do you work internationally?
Yes — UK-wide as standard, international by arrangement, including full visiting details for Gulf-based clients and UK-side planning for travel elsewhere.
For Gulf & UAE-based clients →Will having security make my life feel like a lockdown?
Done properly, the opposite. The aim is that your life feels normal and you simply spend less of it worrying.
How do we begin?
A private enquiry and a conversation. No obligation, and no mailing list.
