NDA

First, we’re going to recommend that you have all of your employees sign non-disclosure agreements before you hire them. This isn’t to say that there is something dodgy in your business, but not having your competitors knowing intimate details is a bonus. This prevents spies and so on being planted in your business from another, as it means you can drag them through the legal system if they say a single word about anything to do with your company. It might seem excessive and paranoid to some, but it’s the best way to avoid people on the inside of your business sharing information.

Network Security

Something else that you are going to have to consider is network security. Do you know how vulnerable your network is right now? If you don’t have any kind of protection then you are going to be in serious trouble if someone decides that they want to attack your company. It’s for this reason that you need to hire someone to take care of this. Ideally, you want someone who has a background in cyber security so that you can be sure they know what they are doing, and aren’t messing up something that is already delicate.

Insurance

Lastly, you need to think about insurance. There are many different types of insurance that a business needs, some of which are required by law, and some of which are optional. Really, it depends on what your business does as to which policies you are going to need, but as long as you have general liability insurance you should be okay legally. Get in touch with an online insurance broker and see what they have to say. Advice from an expert will be massively helpful in deciding which insurance you should purchase for your business. 

The general rule is that it’s better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it, but be careful with this. If you follow this to the letter, you may end up paying for an insurance policy that is probably never going to be used, and you know that.
