Much like buying a home, buying a commercial property involves a lot of time, paperwork, and research in order to find the best property to fit your needs. It can also involve having the building inspected to ensure everything is working well, is in good condition, and meets all city and fire codes. Unfortunately, not all areas of a commercial property are well inspected, and it can cost the new owners dearly.

While some business viral videos might highlight the skills of a kind retail employee or talented restaurant chef, others might capture a waiter's rude customer service or unsafe contractor. The real question for business owners is: what kind of viral video would your business have?

Business owners spend a great deal of time, money and energy developing a business plan and implementing steps to ensure success and future growth. These steps often include securing financial backing, finding an ideal location, creating the product or service, developing a customer base, and establishing a strong social media presence for marketing. However, one of the most important steps in ensuring the future success of a new business is getting proper business insurance coverage to protect from all kinds of incidents and events.

In order to better protect employees and reduce company risk, businesses need to develop an effective fleet safety program that helps promote a safer work environment.
