Smart Security & Budgeting for Colorado Businesses
Can You Strengthen Your Security Without Breaking the Budget?
As the year wraps up, many Colorado business owners are reviewing budgets and thinking about where to invest before 2026. If your business security hasn’t been upgraded recently, this is the ideal time to plan ahead, before tax deadlines and rising costs hit.
At All Secure, we believe strong security shouldn’t only belong to big corporations. Even small businesses under $10 million in revenue can build layered, professional-grade protection without cutting deep into their operating budget. The key is knowing what level of protection fits your space, goals, and risk profile.
Tiered Security Options for Every Business Size
Every business is unique and so is every security solution. These baseline tiers will help you get a sense of what to expect when budgeting for next year’s upgrades. Actual costs may vary depending on layout, hardware, and system integration needs.
Tier 1: Alarm System – Starting Around $3,000
A solid foundation for any business. A professionally installed alarm system provides intrusion detection, monitoring, and immediate alerts when something’s wrong. Perfect for small offices, single storefronts, or growing businesses.
Tier 2: Alarm System + Cameras – Starting Around $8,000
When you add cameras, you gain visibility and deterrence. Integrated camera systems, especially those powered by Alarm.com can record, notify, and give you remote access in real time. Ideal for retail shops, small warehouses, and multi-room offices.
Tier 3: Alarm System + Cameras + Access Control – Price on Request
This tier is designed for complete oversight. Access control allows you to manage who enters, when, and from where, directly from a secure app or dashboard. It’s a powerful option for businesses with employees, sensitive inventory, or compliance requirements.
These figures are simply a guide. the true cost of security depends on your facility’s size, infrastructure, and goals. Every quote from All Secure is custom-tailored after an on-site walkthrough.
