Business Crime

Reducing the risk of business crime will help protect your profits and make sure that people who work with you are safe.

1. Avoid working alone. Get your more experienced staff to work with inexperienced and more vulnerable staff.
2. Do not keep large amounts of money in your till. Leave tills open and empty overnight. Vary your routine when going to the bank.
3. Make it easy to see and be seen. Keep shelves low enough for staff to see what shoppers are doing. Use mirrors to reduce blind spots.
4. Prevent fraud by routinely checking credit and debit cards in line with guidance from card issuers. Check bank notes for forgery.
