How to Start a Polygraph Business

In an era filled with financial fraud, skyrocketing divorce rates, rising unemployment and a general sense of uncertainty among many employers and the public, a career in polygraph services may prove to be a foolproof venture. Reaching your goal of providing the truth to those who seek it requires some effort and time on your part, but the end result is certainly a viable and increasingly needed business in our modern era of straight-faced dishonesty.

1. Look into job openings or internships working with polygraph professionals. You can find leads like these at city courthouses or local police departments. Nothing beats hands-on experience, so following up on this step and showing that you are truly interested in developing your skills as a polygraph professional is a must.

2. Review technical schools that provide job specific training for polygraph experts. Taking the time to receive certification in your field will help you stand out as an attractive choice for clients seeking your skills. Decide on a school that works best for your current schedule and be sure to keep detailed notes as you pursue your education. You will find that the information you have written down from school will prove useful in the workplace

3. Gain the necessary knowledge and experience to confidently start your own polygraph business venture. Find the best place to purchase polygraph equipment and decide on the most effective way to launch your business. Decide whether your services are going to be web-based or a brick and mortar/face to face consultation. These kinds of decisions will help decide the focus and lasting direction of your business. Also, you should attempt to direct the focus of your business towards one area of expertise, be it local law enforcement, corporate assistance or state government.

4. Advertise in trade publications and sell through magazines that cater to law enforcement, security and licensed detectives. These industries will provide you with the most immediate business opportunities. Look into cost-effective ways to advertise your business, such as having an online presence, creating a direct postcard campaign, or simply open the phone book and start cold-calling places you feel might be in need of polygraph services.
