Thornton, CO -April 4, 2006 - According to the Small Business
Administration and the United States Chamber of Commerce, 25-30% of
small businesses fail due to security issues such as internal
theft. Eric Smith & Associates, LLC works with companies to
develop the means to protect themselves from losses, boost profit
margins and create a safer work environment.
According to company founder, Eric Smith, "I have responded to
countless criminal acts that could have been easily avoided or at
least have the loss minimized. Most people are trusting and expect
the best of others, especially those that they know and work with.
Unfortunately, there are those among us that take advantage of that
trust. Any loss can have a devastating impact on businesses whether
it is a loss of cash, merchandise, proprietary information or a
crime against employees."
While many security consultants will provide written
documentation with a list of recommendations, Eric Smith &
Associates provides the additional service of project management in
order to put requested recommendations into place. Available
services include developing training programs, writing policy and
procedures and locating product vendors. "These services allow
clients to focus on their core business rather than spending time
on important support tasks," Smith notes.
Customer service is the key component of the services offered by
Eric Smith & Associates. Providing a customized approach to
each client's needs and timely responses to phone calls and emails
is critical. The company's in-depth analysis identifies areas of
potential losses or liability with cost-effective solutions.
Company founder Eric Smith has over a decade of experience in
law enforcement and private security. His investigations of
numerous business burglaries, employee thefts and other workplace
violations such as harassments provide him the necessary experience
needed to address the unique needs of business owners protecting
their valuable investments and boosting profit margins. Smith's
articles on the use of technology in law enforcement and
streamlining operations have been published in a variety of law
enforcement and public management journals and periodicals. He also
holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration with
a focus on International Business and Marketing.
