Cequr Security
Cequr Security provides security services at special events and to private companies, particularly at construction sites throughout Chicagoland.
The company’s initial clients were contacts the founders had made in their former careers as Sherriff’s Deputies but in order for the business to be sustainable it needed to add new clients.
When Courtney Sparkman, one of the firm’s owners, learned about CCV’s Small Business Development Initiative, he saw an opportunity to gain skills that he needed to develop his business.
CCV’s consultants provided him with a market analysis, and helped him understand his markets so that he could to attract new customers. The strategy worked and Cequr has been steadily signing up new clients – so many that the company has hired 28 additional employees in the past year.
