Do not leave valuables, money or stock lying around unattended. Secure money or expensive equipment in a safe place when the building is empty.
If open to the public have highly visible members of staff to deter opportunist theft and shoplifting. Make sure unknown people in private areas are challenged verified. Simply asking if you can help them should give you the reassurance you need.
Make sure your front door or main entrance way has an audible alarm if you do not have a staffed reception area.
Taking basic practical steps to show unwanted criminals that you are prepared and watching out is the first step in business security. If your company looks as though it is taking precautions to prevent theft then the less appealing it will be.
