Before one needs to set up business nowadays there are some factors that one needs to rethink again apart from those that existed before. As from the past, we all well know that a good location of a business is directly depended on the population of the people, but nowadays business near densely populated areas, like slums are prone to violence.

It is well established periods when violence is likely to occur, such like in an election year or demonstrations, so one should determine the security steps he should take for his business. These are some of the factors one should take in order to prevent damages happening to his business when mob becomes rowdy or run amok.

1. Stock storage.
-One should carefully weigh the pros and cons and decide how much stock to keep on business premises, depending on demand.

2. Location.
-Have you ever wondered hackers keeps changing places from street alleys to Central Business District (CBD)? It is to avoid looters.

3. Anticipation.
-Monitoring preceding events should gauge subsequent outcome. An increase in violence means a business must be closed or open but put measures in place to ensure you close before suffering any destruction.

4. Infrastructure.
-Install burglar proofing grills. Or hardened padlocks, alarm systems and Closed Circuit Television (CCYV).

5. Insurance.
