Why should you hire a security agency to protect your business? Good question. Before I answer, let's look at your business. Have you had the windows inspected? Are they properly secured? What about the front, side, and/or rear entry doors? Are they solid and operable? What about the lighting in your building? Do they follow the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy's code for interior lighting? Did you even know there was and Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy? Well, if you didn't don't fret, you are not alone. Security agencies can help.
Security agencies can assess your site and tell you what safety deficiencies your building has. Many companies provide a site assessment for free. They will follow a checklist and thoroughly examine your site looking for ways you can tighten security and meet municipal and state codes applicable to your office building. After your assessment, it may appear that you have a long list of items to repair and/or upgrades and that it will cost too much. However, when you examine how expensive burglaries are you may choose to reexamine the cost. Insureon, a Chicago based insurance company reported that 8.8 percent of small business in the United States experienced a burglary in 2016. Break-ins cost business owners thousands of dollars in lost inventory and merchandise each year and can be avoided if proper precautions are taken.
Speaking with a security firm can make the difference. Maybe your security solution is a consistent patrol of your office building rather than a full time on-site officer. Maybe you need an officer to stand guard as you count money late at night or an armed escort while you transport your business revenue to the bank. Whatever you need, a simple call can put you on the track to security. Additionally, the costs may not even be what you think. Especially when you factor in the savings from your insurance company from having security personnel at your site. You may find that you can't afford to go without a security solution.
Additionally, if your business alarm goes off in the middle of the night, wouldn't you rather a professionally trained security officer respond immediately? That way, if it was a simple alarm trip, you never have to leave your home. If it is something serious, a security officer could take the initial report and speak with police when they arrive. They will then be able to give you a status of your business and explain next steps.
