It is definitely worth having measures set up to protect you, your business and profits to ensure everything is safe. Like they say, “it’s better to be safe than sorry!”

Keyhole Kate’s have put together a list, to help inform business owners on the best ways to maintain your business security, and ensure it is as safe and secure as possible. Please take the time to read through our help and advice, as it could be worth knowing as you never know when your businesses security could be really appreciated.

High Quality Door Locks

Having good quality locks help protect your business, products and premises while it is closed. British Insurance Approved locks will secure your premises whilst it is out of hours. Did you know, it is a necessary requirement to have quality standard door locks, in order for your insurance policy to be valid, or accepted?

Window and Door Shutters

If you currently have shutters installed, it is best to be sure to use them correctly. This is in order to ensure that your business is completely secure when you are not present or your business is not in use. It is also advisable, to have your shutters regularly maintained, to be sure that the locking mechanism is fully working to its best potential. If you don’t already have shutters, Keyhole Kate’s suggest that you consider having shutters fitted, not only for extra reassurance, but for the security of your business too.

CCTV

CCTV is not the cheapest security measure to install, however it can be the system to give you extra knowledge of your business. Not only that, in an event of something occurring in or around your business, it can provide some valuable evidence, when required.

Deal With Takings and Income Accordingly

Leaving money in your business at the end of the day can be a huge risk, and is almost an invitation for something unfortunate to happen. Be sure to deal with takings properly, either through taking them away from the premises at the end of each day, or having them stored in a secure safe. It can also be best to display a window sticker, to state that no cash or any form of money is left in the till or premises when locked up or overnight. This will deter any potential risks from occurring and will give your business a better, and tighter form for your security measures.

Install an Under Counter Alarm System

Consider having an under counter alarm system installed, which will contact the Police straight away in the event of a robbery. The alarm system is usually powered by a button, and is a discrete way to inform the Police of any trouble, without showing a robber or trouble maker that you have sounded concern.

These are just a few of the main precautionary measures that can be put in place to protect your and your business. If you are looking for sustainable ways to improve or maintain your business’s security, these could be some of the best ways.
