How to apply basic risk
management strategies to
your business:

> reduce the risk: This strategy
takes into consideration the probability
and severity of a loss. Often, proactive
steps can be taken to minimize the
impact of losses on your business by
implementing deterrents. These
preventative measures can range
from basic alarms and sprinklers all
the way to complex software or
different methods of supply chain
management.
> retain the risk: Self insurance is
often accepted due to extremely low
probability risks, excessive costs or
the risk simply is not insurable. Risk
retention may also be a result of
broker or management negligence
and is often discovered after it is too
late. However, this problem can be
avoided by having a third party conduct
a risk audit on your firm and usually
saves you a substantial amount of
time and money in the long run.
> transfer the risk: Insurance is
one of the most common methods
used to transfer risk from one party to
another in the form of an insurance
policy. There are numerous policies
available and they should be reviewed
on a regular basis to ensure your
business is not over or under- insured.
