Starting a security guard services business involves both registration of your company and obtaining the required license under the applicable laws. Here's a simple guide for you:
1. Company Registration (Private Limited Company)

Articles of Association (AoA)
Proof of registered office address

File incorporation forms on MCA portal (SPICe form - Simplified Proforma for Incorporating Company Electronically).

2. License for Security Guard Services
Security agencies in India are regulated under The Private Security Agencies (Regulation) Act, 2005 (PSARA). To legally provide security guard services, you must obtain a license under this act.

Submit necessary documents including:
Proof of company registration
Address proof of office and premises
Details of directors/partners
Police verification certificates

Ensure all guards are properly trained and licensed.
Follow labor laws and employee welfare regulations.
Maintain records and renew license periodically.
