Stock Security Is Vital
If you’re a product based business then you need to ensure your stock is safe. Not just from thieves and vandals but also from fire, flooding, and other natural disasters. The first thing you need to do is get the right level of insurance. It can help you out a huge amount if anything bad happens to your stock, especially if the stock is expensive. Think about computers or components, or even car stock. If they’re damaged you’re immediately writing off a lot of money but with insurance, you’re good. Take steps to protect your stock by storing it off the ground, if anything floods you’re relatively better protected. Even just taking a few minutes to think about stock security can stand you in good stead and also give you peace of mind.
