Applying for a permit for a security company

There are various organisational forms under which activities can be organised in accordance with the Law of 2 October 2017 regulating private and special security.

Security company

A security company is any company (legal or natural person) that provides or performs security activities, or describes itself as such. A security company does not organise security activities for itself, but provides them as services to third parties. Although a security company usually provides security services to third parties on a contractual basis against payment, the commercial nature is not an essential characteristic of a security company. Persons and companies that are non-profit-making or that organise security on behalf of third parties only occasionally or temporarily, are also considered security companies.
