Not only are you protecting your home, you’re protecting your business

Here at CSS, we provide security for everyone from newlyweds moving into their first house, to entrepreneurs setting up their fifth franchise – basically, we cater to home and business owners.
The thing is, what happens when your home is also the home of your business? According to a recent study by the Office for National Statistics, a massive 13.9% of the UK workforce work from home – a mix of existing employees and those who run their own business. Although this means people have the option of a more flexible work-life ratio, it also means greater risks on the event of a break in. Here are a few of our top tips for protecting you, your business and your clients.

• Have you ever considered a registered office? Basically, you rent an address (not an office) that you can use on all your mail, website etc – meaning you can keep your home address private and secure.

• Avoid using/storing expensive equipment near windows – anyone can look in and get a quick browse of what’s available inside.

• When it comes to doing business online, make sure you use very strong passwords and that no two are the same. When it comes to protecting your clients, the more security, the better.

• If you have important printed documents, it’s worth investing in a fire-proof, bolt down safe. Even if it’s bolted to the floor, ensure it’s hidden. Identity theft is on the rise. 

• Last, but not least, invest in a high quality security system – burglars can tell a DIY effort from miles away. Did you know the police only respond to registered alarms? We can help you there.
