Fortis Security LLC | Application Preview
Fortis Security LLC is seeking government grants to support its operational expenses, including payroll, licensing and certification fees, equipment purchases, and costs associated with hiring employees. The company is currently engaged in a 72-month contract with American Homes 4 Rent and anticipates expanding its workforce within the growing security sector in the Puget Sound area.
The funding will enable Fortis Security to serve as a supportive environment for veterans and others seeking employment. With its proximity to Joint Base Lewis-McChord, the company aims to assist veterans re-entering the workforce and provide career opportunities within security and law enforcement. Fortis Security plans to offer entry-level positions that allow individuals to gain valuable skills and certifications relevant to the industry, thereby contributing positively to the local community.
Fortis faces competition from established firms such as Allied Universal, Securitas, and GardaWorld. However, its competitive advantage lies in the prior military service and extensive experience of its staff, as well as the intimate and effective training it can provide due to its size. The organization prioritizes the needs of its employees and the community, positioning itself as a valuable long-term career option and a pathway for personal and professional growth.

Fortis Security looks to be both a long term career option as well as a way to gain industry experience and give employees tools to succeed in any future employment. We believe the best way to support the community, both civilian and veteran, is to give individuals the ability to grow and learn while making a livable wage.
