Avoiding risky business
Contributed by: Eric Smith on 4/5/2006

THORNTON - 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.
