1. Start your small business security plan before you actually hire all those employees. Let's face it, you are going to be investing a lot in a new employee so why waste the time and effort by hiring a bad apple? For the the little bit that it costs to do a background check - it is well worth the money it to save yourself a huge headache in the future.

2. My second small business security tip for you would be: Install a camera and find out who the stupid criminal is that is stealing from you! No matter what kind of business you have, you probably have had some sort of theft situation. Tell us YOURS!

With a GPS unit you can see for yourself (right on your computer screen): where your employee traveled, how fast they drove, where they stopped and for how long. Its like having your own private investigator for a fraction of the cost! A GPS car tracker is a small business security tool that was not available a few years back - but times have changed and this is something that is affordable for anyone to use to protect themselves.

4. If you have a shop outside of town (maybe you own some sort of contracting business), and have expensive equipment that you need to protect consider getting a watch dog or two. Police say a barking dog is an excellent way to deter burglars. If you don't want to have a dog, at least make it appear that you have one. A dog house and a chain with a dog bowl can do a lot to scare off the would-be burglar. Also an electronic barking dog alarm might be a good tool for you to use.

5. If you own or manage a retail store, develop a game plan for retail theft prevention. You need to know all the techniques and methods that shoplifters and your crooked employees use to steal from you.

Take the necessary steps now to protect your profits!]
