Close personal protection (CPP) is about protection of the person. In Australia this requires the person providing the service to be a licensed bodyguard (you must pay your tithe to the State, before you can try and find work, and this is a 'tax' to be paid to each State where the work crosses a State border).

If you intend to employ others to conduct the actually protection you must pay a further tithe (tax) to the State, plus pay to be a member of an industry group (who will take your money, and use it to boost the income of the Senior Executive of this 'Not for Profit' whilst pretending that they are industry consultants (another 'tax' forced by Government), plus pay the industry group to audit you (the Government takes their licence 'tax' but take no responsibility, they have 'outsourced' that, so you pay another 'tax'), plus hold numerous insurances that you will never claim, but that are mandated by the government, who will investigate you at the drop of a hat, as all rights are held by the client, and the Government, does not see you as an individual but as a nasty creature that must be punished if it gets out of line, because you aren't PAYG Union members.

If you have been in the industry for a while you will notice that the Government tightens the leash with every review, and raises the cost of the plethora of licenses you require (did I mention that you must pay every year or three to prove you are not a criminal, as the Government assumes everyone is a criminal until they pay the Government to check the records it has sub-contracted a private company to hold, and correlate, and you must also provide your fingerprints?).

So, anyway, back to the client. The client will be demanding, expect you to provide more services than requested, complain about the service if you don't break laws, and bend to their will, despite this being totally against the idea of protecting them, and they can use the 'consumer rights' (note, there are no 'supplier rights') to crucify you, should they choose... please do not believe a signed contract can protect you from this. For smaller disputes you may find yourself before a tribunal ... in this case give up, as these tribunals are courts without 'laws' and contracts are totally ignored, you have no rights as the supplier of services; it will be inconsequential that you believe you supplied a good service, as described, and it seems these tribunals are a training ground for Magistrate wannabe's who have studied law, not life. So, in Australia it is a low risk threat environment, except from politicians and the legal system.

Should someone complain you may also meet a Government investigator. They will threaten you from the start, then tell you to that they can't force you to sign things, but if you don't they will persecute you for everything they can ... they will tell you you have to refund everything, even after you've done the work, they will tell you they will force you to justify everything on your website (apparently 'puff' http://www.lawbuddy.com.au/advertising-australia/ as an advertising technique has become illegal in Australia) or prosecute you ... so, guess what, we don't offer bodyguard services in Australia, anymore; it isn't worth the aggravation (even if we received praise for jobs, including provision of such services to prominent World leaders, that doesn't matter to the Government).

If you want to complain you cannot find professional bodyguards in Australia, or other services that now require licenses, look to the Government. They seek to control and tax everything (for 'our own good'), as the only growth area is in public servants, and public servant wages, whilst everyone else is busy cutting each others throats and fighting over the scraps left after the Government has controlled, tithed, and taxed business out of existence.

If you want, you can try to earn a living out of different areas of 'security' and mercantile work, including investigation, and process serving etc. DO NOT try to become a business, because the Government will then view you as an ATM. They will 'tax' each separate part of your business, and demand you have multiple licenses, and keep proving you are not a criminal (the concept of innocent until proven guilty is dead in totalitarian Australia); they will grow the countries employment through public service 'empire building' at your expense ... so as you earn less, they will demand more.

and the client will also ask for different physical attributes such as bigger bodyguards for presence, smaller bodyguards for real protection, but they cannot just ask for male bodyguards (or more correctly you cannot just supply male bodyguards) because you breach to law by discriminating ... so, have fun, and avoid the pitfalls.

PS Also do not rely on your accountant to actually know what they are doing; after many years we discovered that our accountant had been double and triple counting income (as money was loaned to the company and repaid to the directors personal investment accounts, was counted as sales and profits, not loans in, loans out) plus arbitrarily deciding that some of our asset purchases, and business costs were 'personal' (We have a Land Rover, purchased for a job, that doesn't exist for tax purposes, apparently the director bought it for himself, and didn't know?). So watch out for shonky accountants as well.
