Comment: " Since 1980, SFA has provided financial services
to the alarm industry. With the advent of consumer financing
for alarms, there is no need for a dealer to sell their accounts
until they retire or has a one-time need. They now can
place the debt for an alarm system with the customer
where it belongs. It is no different than financing furniture
or a car. You are leaving lots of money on the table if you
are selling each new account to a dealer program that can
only pay 35x-45x. The ability to combine alarm systems
with monitoring and now solar puts you way ahead in the
cashflow game, especially without recourse. " - Tony Smith,
