A Service People Need
Why add fingerprinting to your business?
Fingerprinting is tied to licensing, employment, regulated industries, onboarding and background screening. That makes it a useful add-on for businesses already serving professionals, job seekers, health care employers, schools and other organizations.
Add a New Revenue Stream
Create another paid service without replacing the business you already operate.
Cross-Sell Existing Customers
Serve clients who may already need licensing, employment, compliance or screening services.
Develop B2B Accounts
Market to employers, schools, staffing companies, health care organizations and other repeat referral sources.
Mobile or Storefront
Choose a service model that fits your market, existing office and growth plans.

Best-Fit Business Owners
Who can benefit most from adding fingerprinting?
The strongest fit is usually a business that already serves people who need licensing, employment, identity or compliance services.
Mobile Notaries
Fingerprinting fits naturally with identity verification and mobile appointment services.
CPR & Training Centers
Students and health care professionals often need background screening for school, licensing or employment.
Health Care Businesses
Home care, staffing and clinical organizations can improve onboarding and may add screening services for outside clients.
Staffing & Recruiting Firms
Fingerprinting can complement candidate onboarding and compliance services.
Drug Testing Businesses
Add another employer-focused compliance service to an existing testing operation.
Shipping / Mailbox Centers
Existing retail traffic, identity services and convenient locations can support walk-in fingerprinting demand.
Security & Compliance Companies
Fingerprinting complements background screening, security licensing and workforce compliance.
Entrepreneurs Starting Fresh
Build a mobile or storefront fingerprinting service around individual and business clients.
Plan Your Startup Investment
What does professional LiveScan equipment cost?
A professional LiveScan setup is a real business investment. Most complete systems with the required LiveScan software are approximately:
$6,500–$7,500
Exact pricing depends on the scanner, software, laptop, modules, support, printer or card-printing requirements and the services you plan to offer.
A complete business setup may include:
✓ Professional fingerprint scanner
✓ LiveScan capture and submission software
✓ Dedicated laptop or workstation
✓ Camera / photo capture when required
✓ Printer and fingerprint card supplies
✓ Secure payment, records and communications tools

Actual net income depends on your agency costs, software and transaction fees, rent, payroll, insurance, marketing, taxes, refunds, chargebacks, customer volume and other operating expenses.
Think Beyond Walk-Ins
The bigger opportunity may be recurring business accounts.
One employer, school or agency relationship can create repeat applicants instead of relying only on one-time customers.
Home Care & Health Care Employers
Onboarding and licensing create recurring screening needs.
Staffing Agencies
New hires and contract placements can create consistent applicant volume.
Schools & Training Programs
Students may need fingerprints for clinicals, certification or employment.
Security Companies
Licensing and employee compliance can support repeat screening demand.
Property & Professional Services
Offer fingerprinting alongside other identity, licensing or document services.
Corporate HR Departments
In-house or preferred-provider workflows can reduce onboarding friction.

Frequently Asked Questions
Fingerprinting Business Class FAQ
How much is the Fingerprinting & LiveScan Business Class?
The hands-on class is $400 and is designed to provide practical business and fingerprinting instruction in a live, in-person setting.
How much should I expect to spend on LiveScan equipment?
Most complete professional systems with the required LiveScan software are approximately $6,500–$7,500. Exact configurations vary based on hardware, software, modules and services.
Is the LiveScan machine included in the $400 class?
No. The $400 fee is for the hands-on training. LiveScan equipment, software and business supplies are purchased separately.
Do I have to already own a business?
No. The class can help both existing business owners who want to add fingerprinting and entrepreneurs who are still planning their fingerprinting business.
Can someone outside Jacksonville take the class?
Yes. Business owners can travel to Jacksonville for the in-person class. Requirements for electronic fingerprint submission differ by state, so participants operating outside Florida should verify their own state and agency requirements.
Does taking the class automatically make me an approved LiveScan provider?
No. Training and equipment purchases do not automatically grant state, federal or agency approval. Your required registrations, agreements and approvals depend on the services and jurisdictions in which you plan to operate.
How much can a fingerprinting business make?
Revenue varies widely by location, pricing, transaction costs, agency fees, customer volume and business model. This page includes illustrative gross-receipt examples to help with planning, but Florida Training Academy does not guarantee earnings or profitability.
