Security Guards for Retail & Business Premises
Professional, SIA-licensed security guards who represent your business well and keep your premises safe.
Guards who fit your environment
Retail and business security is different from venue work. The focus is on deterrence, professional presence, and handling situations quietly. You want staff who look and act the part, follow your procedures, and deal with problems without making your business feel like a crime scene.
Iron Base supplies SIA Security Guarding licensed operatives who are used to working in retail and commercial environments. They're smart, composed, and trained to handle the full range of situations from shoplifting to access control to genuine emergencies.

- Static guard presence at entrances, shop floors or reception areas

SIA Security Guarding Licence – the standard for static guards
The SIA Security Guarding licence is required for anyone working as a static guard in the UK. Like the Door Supervisor licence, it requires passing training, a criminal record check, and identity verification.
Iron Base guards hold the correct licence for their role. We don't mix licence types or cut corners on compliance, because your liability as a site manager depends on it.
- All operatives hold valid, in-date SIA Security Guarding licences
- CCTV operatives hold the Public Space Surveillance licence where required
- Licences can be checked by you on the SIA's public licence checker
- Any operative we send will arrive with their licence card
