If your business does not operate on a 24h basis, you need someone to lock and unlock your premises. We know that some business owners appoint one of their employees as a key holder and this individual will be responsible for locking and unlocking the premises. This is the most vulnerable time of the day for the business and individual involved as they are often on their own. Thus, criminals might see this as an opportunity to attack.
Your designated key holder may fall ill. This will disrupt your business as your staff will not be able to get into the building. If you do not have a spare key on you, you will have to go to your key holder’s house to collect your key from them.
