Unlikely that SMB has this expertise, or at least I've never heard of them doing this.
Armored vehicles with the features you mention are a very big business in Latin America, Asia, central Europe and the FSU. It is a highly specialized and somewhat technical process. Some of my friends who live in these countries have armored vehicles for personal use.
A professionally done armored vehicle will cost about 1.5x to 2.5x the original cost of the new vehicle, depending on the options chosen. The armoring process also adds substantially to the vehicle's weight. That alone would be a major complication with an SMB.
