Retail Loss Prevention

Retail loss prevention services help retailers reduce theft and shrinkage through plainclothes security, surveillance, staff training, and theft prevention programs - protecting merchandise and reducing losses.

Loss prevention typically bills at $35-$75 per hour or monthly retainers of $3,000-$15,000.

Serving 10-30 retail clients generates $200,000-$700,000 annually with 35-55% margins.

Target clients include retail stores and chains, shopping centers, grocery and convenience stores, electronics and high-theft retailers, department stores, and franchises.

Services include plainclothes store security, theft detection and apprehension, employee theft investigations, surveillance and monitoring, staff theft prevention training, and shrinkage analysis and consulting.

Success requires retail loss prevention expertise, understanding retail operations, investigation and surveillance skills, building cases and working with law enforcement, staff training abilities, and potentially certified loss prevention credentials.
