For sale: LockCar, a market-ready UK vehicle security brand with a finished, working product, stock and apps.

LockCar CAN-IMMO is a PIN-code immobiliser that protects cars against keyless relay attacks and key cloning. The product is fully developed, already installed on real vehicles and ready to sell today.

This is an opportunity for a vehicle security company, installer network, dealer group, telematics or fleet business to become the manufacturer and supplier of its own immobiliser brand in the UK, without the time and cost of developing one from scratch. The founder is available to stay on and continue leading development.


THE OPPORTUNITY

Keyless car theft is a major and growing problem in the UK, and branded CAN-bus immobilisers sell for £449 to £599 fitted. LockCar offers a strong, more affordable alternative for installers, dealers and fleets. Interest has already been received from installers and distributors.

Building a comparable product from scratch would typically take a new team 12 to 24 months of hardware, firmware and app development, testing and production setup. LockCar is ready now.


WHAT'S INCLUDED

  • All intellectual property: PCB design, firmware and source code, server software, installer and customer apps
  • LockCar brand, web domains and app store listings
  • 60 units in stock, ready to sell
  • Installer pricing structure and marketing materials
  • A second fully developed and working product: the complete LockCar MCU platform (4G, GPS, live video cameras, remote control)


HOW THE PRODUCT WORKS

The driver enters a PIN using the vehicle's original buttons before the engine will start. No keypad, no visible LEDs, no subscription fees.

  • Reads CAN bus, LIN bus and ADC button circuits, with live button scanning via the installer app, giving compatibility with a very wide range of vehicles
  • Immobilisation by relay cut, with CAN or LIN bus immobilisation depending on the vehicle (CAN injection capability in further development)
  • Authorisation by PIN, Bluetooth tag, smartwatch, smart ring or mobile app (Android live, iOS in testing)
  • PIN can be changed by the customer via button learning mode or the app
  • No cutting of factory wiring


SALE STRUCTURE

  • Asset sale
  • The founder is open to staying on to lead development and technical support
  • Seller financing can be considered for part of the price

Competition / Market:

The UK vehicle security market includes established CAN-bus immobiliser brands such as Ghost, Scorpion, IGLA, Pandora and Microbot, typically retailing at £449–£599 fitted, many with insurance-recognised certification. LockCar competes on price and flexibility: it supports CAN bus, LIN bus and ADC button circuits with live button scanning during installation, and offers multiple authorisation methods (PIN, Bluetooth tag, smartwatch, smart ring, app). LockCar does not yet hold TASSA/Thatcham certification, which is a key opportunity for a buyer with the resources to pursue it.

Reasons for selling:

The founder designed and built LockCar from the ground up and has proven the product in real installations. Scaling sales, certification and distribution now requires capital and a sales network the founder does not have. The business would suit an established vehicle security, telematics or installation company, and the founder is happy to continue with the development.

Trading hours:

Online sales 24/7; installations and support Monday to Saturday.

Employees:
0 (founder-run)
Years established:
