Loss Assessors Advice

'Back up your data' say our loss assessors

If you can prevent something, then you will, but quite often after a fire, flood or theft at a business, data will be lost.

Our loss assessors are frequently asked to assist with data recovery and where the majority of times we are able to provide this service; sometimes it is not possible to retrieve the data.

This may be because the data was only in hard, paper copy or because computers have been so damaged and data entirely lost.

In light of our findings, we cannot express enough the importance of backing up your data. Many companies don’t get round to backing up work, client details, websites, accounts etc, because it can be quite time consuming. However, in the event of a fire, knowing that your business can carry on, even in a temporary location, can be very comforting AND save you a lot of money in the long run.

Our loss assessors suggest thinking of it as part of your insurance premium. You may not need it, but if that day comes when you do, you will be glad that you are prepared.
