3. Secure <strong>your</strong> premises<br />
Once you have identified the potential weak areas of <strong>your</strong><br />
premises, you should make sure that they are properly secured.<br />
This might involve fitting additional locks and lighting, or it might<br />
involve getting rid of certain doors and windows in order to bring<br />
in more robust replacements. Burglars’ are easily deterred by<br />
impassable obstacles.<br />
A similar deterrent comes in the form of an alarm system<br />
properly advertised with signs and flashing lights. If you have a<br />
great deal of high-value stock, then a good investment would be<br />
to put up security shutters – particularly if the site is not manned<br />
overnight.<br />
While the cost of this may be off-putting for many small business<br />
owners, it may be economically viable in the long term because<br />
of the effect it has on <strong>your</strong> insurance premiums. Insurers<br />
recognise the value of a secure investment and, in many cases,<br />
this will be reflected in the amounts of money they will charge<br />
you.
