Making Moving Easier

I still remember the first time I decided to move my business. I had a small masonry company at the time, and we didn't think that it would be that hard to load everything into a few trucks. A few weeks later, we found ourselves struggling to maintain our business, clean up our old location, and get set up in our new place. Although I have owned several businesses over the years, moving an entire company is never easy. I decided to dedicate this website to helping other small business owners like myself, so that you don't have to endure the same hassles that I did. I hope that you find the information that you need, and that your next move can be successful.

Even installing "dummy" cameras—fake security cameras—can drastically reduce the likelihood that your home will be burglarized.

On and Off - some homeowners believe that leaving the lights on in a few bedrooms is enough to scare-off lurking home intruders. This strategy can backfire and actually alert burglars that you aren't home. When they notice that the same light(s) are left on for nights on end, they will likely be sure that you aren't home. A better strategy is to put a few lights and appliances on timers. For instance, if your television or bedroom lights frequently turn on and off, it will appear that someone is home.

Burglary In-Progress

In most homes, the easiest place to create a safe haven is in a closet or bathroom located in a central location. To create a safe haven, you should have multiple deadbolts to secure the door and a secure phone line to making calling the police easier. Many home security contractors can help you create a safe haven if you can't figure out where to put it or how to secure it.

Exit Plan(s) - in addition to a safe haven, it's equally important to have an established exit plan(s) in the event that a criminal enters your home. In order for an exit plan(s) to be effective you must develop a strategy for exiting your home from multiple locations. For instance, if the majority of your home's bedrooms are located on the second floor, you will need to have an established window and ladder to ensure that your family to quickly exit your home without accessing a stairwell. It's important to review your exit plan(s) with your family on an annual basis.
