You want a ready made round/ business ? I think you are looking for something else ( Bit of security )  :(

how about trying doorknockers or roundbuilders to build you up a round. I think they are still charging 2 times the monthly value.
Do a search on this site for posts about them that will have contact details.

No worries.
Are you searching in town only? I started off rural and working town but i found the best way was canvassing villages, putting adverts in village shops but the best way was (and still is) is to put adverts in parish magazines. The type of people who buy these church mags are the ones who network like demons and are generally very community oriented.
I pay a tenner a year for my advert. The best money i've ever spent.
