What can you do to prevent making a loss?

[Alex]

All businesses operating will make losses and profits simultaneously, even the big giants like Amazon. The role of business directors is to develop policies to prevent and minimize shrinkage and loss in the company. For example, if it's a shop, they can prevent loss by hiring a physical security guard at the premises to deter theft and keep the peace. A shop and many other premises can also invest in high-quality HD CCTV cameras to identify the culprits responsible. Lastly, another suitable method to prevent company loss is implementing reasonable stock-inventory counting procedures to ensure everything is accounted for. Of course, dependent on the business will depend on which strategy a business owner will use to prevent stock loss.

If you are a business owner or are planning to become one - What can you do to prevent shrinkage and loss?

But there is difference if the company is having some saving or the company doesn't have any kind of saving of funds because the two scenarios are not the same thing. Company have duties to pay in losses.

This all depends on how much cash reserves a company is having. If a company has huge cash reserves then the chances are that the company will survive. However, most of the business, especially small businesses, do not have huge reserves at all.

That's true, if you don't know how to behave yourself I don't think you can continue,a lot of people quit if they lose money, quitting is not a good remedy for this.

For a business to experience losses it is not just as a result of improper management . it is also linked to improper business arrangement like unsuitable location and other things. If a business is being established, proper plans and preparation toward suitable location must be made available to minimise the risk of business failure due bads environment.

This is why I will always advise that you should do a lot of planning and research before setting up your business. There are a lot of businesses that have very good ideas and they hire good employees but then they will fail because they did not set it up in the right place.
