Keeping Your Business Secured

Protecting Your LivelihoodWhether you’re a seasoned business owner or you’re just starting out, you know that operating your own business can be extremely costly and every penny counts. One of the decisions that must be made is, “How am I going to protect my business?” We’ve seen it happen so many times. New businesses open up on tight budgets so they decided to put a monitored security system off until they start turning a profit. The next thing you know, they get burglarized and the business crumbles. More often than not, it’s internal theft that causes the most damages. |
So, we’ve put together a few steps you can take to protect your business from external and internal theft. Experts say that the best type of lock to prevent someone without a key from coming in is the pin-cylinder dead bolt type. These locks are hardest to pick and will keep out the novice burglars. Speaking of door locks, keep a count of your keys! Always have an up to date list of who has a key to lock and unlock your business. Lighting is crucial! Keep a well lit area inside and outside of your business when it is not occupied. Flood lights pointing to all entrances and interior lighting that can provide a view of the inside from the street are the best way to go. With interior lighting it will deter a thief from trying to break in through your windows but having impact glass makes that twice as safe. Use impact glass on all accessible windows. Impact glass can be broken but it will take a lot of time and a lot of patience. Safes are most effective in any business that has cash flow. Making daily or nightly deposits will certainly reduce the total loss if a theft occurs. Safes can also be mounted to the floors and walls to make them harder to relocate. Most importantly, get a security system! Most people aren’t aware of the different ways you can make your security system work for you! |
Below, we’ll explain how each of these tips listed above can be amplified by having a security system.
