Risk management tips for automotive dealers

Tip #1:
As a business owner, you have an obligation to ensure your employee has a valid license for the vehicle they are operating and a driving record that’s within the parameters of your company’s driving standards. MVRs are an effective and inexpensive risk management tool to assist you in doing this, and should be used by all companies who employ drivers.
Tip #2:
An effective burglary prevention program needs to consider the building design and how the various components of a building need to work together to prevent burglaries. The weakest points of buildings are typically the doors and windows. These need to be protected.
Tip #3:
Thieves may target closing time to ensure that no other customers witness the theft. Before locking up, check all areas such as offices, restrooms and back storage to verify there are no customers remaining in the building.
