Owning a business means you have to keep an eye on risks and make sure you’re ready for them. Risks can be anything from an unexpected tax bill to a big event like a flood. They can cause a little trouble or a lot, so it’s smart to figure out what risks you have and how to handle them.
Check your business from top to bottom for anything that might go wrong and take steps to protect yourself. Some risks are easy to see coming, like making sure you have enough money for wages every month. But you can’t always predict things like fires or storms. Still, you can plan to reduce harm and get insurance just in case.
Do a risk check-up. Talk with experts to make sure you haven’t missed anything. Make sure your insurance is good enough. Keep checking your safety plans to make sure they’re up to date with what your business needs.
If you have people who give you advice, like a board of directors, talk about how you’re keeping the business safe and how you’re doing overall at your next meeting.
