    The Small Price Now, The Bigger Price Later

    The reasons so many businesses fall prey to intruders are two-fold.

    Businesses represent a gold-mine to the everyday burglar.

    They know there will lots of valuable IT equipment on site, and maybe even valuable tools for a quick re-sell.

    The second reason is that many businesses put off installing a quality intruder alarm system because it seems like an avoidable expense.
    However, this is short-sighted.

    The cost of a burglary is far higher than that of an intruder alarm system.

    Not only does the business face losing goods it needs for its day-to-day operations, insurance premiums will likely rise.

    Many insurance companies – especially if you have been targeted multiple times by burglars – will no longer offer insurance.

    And this means all kinds of long-term issues for your business.

    All of these things combined make the cost of installing an intruder security system pale in comparison to the actual cost of a burglary to you and on the government statistics.

    Servicing and Maintenance

    You should have a service and maintenance plan in place before your installer leaves your premises.

    It’s also key to nail down what warranty is included, what services you are entitled to, and recourse if things don’t work as they should.

    Any good, accredited installation company will make this clear and offer maintenance visits that fit with your business’s schedule.

    If you have opted for a security system that involves police response, it’s actually mandated that you have your commercial burglar alarm system serviced at least twice a year.

    The police don’t like coming out multiple times to a business with a faulty alarm, and it’s likely they will stop coming altogether.

    Many insurance companies also insist that businesses have a service programme in place and all components are looked over once a year.

    It’s great having a good intruder alert system, but no good if it doesn’t go off when you need it the most.

    Most insurers will also be very insistent that your security installation company is SSAIB accredited.

    If they aren’t, an insurer will likely not accept the installation.

    It’s worth doing it the right way and covering yourself from every angle.
