This makes it critical for businesses to have adequate short-term insurance cover to help them in the unfortunate event of theft or a break-in.
Having this in place will give business owners peace of mind knowing that their valuables are covered.
Lastly, always keep records of all movable assets in case of theft.
Taking inventory of computers, stock, keys, gate remotes including serial numbers, can help speed up the insurance process in case of an unfortunate incident.
