Most businesses do not realize that there is a need to document their businesses physical assets. When an insurance settlement is not large enough to recover your assets, you will have to use other resources to purchase items to replace what was destroyed or stolen. The impact a loss has on cash flow could ultimately close down your business. Statistics show that only 6% of businesses will survive long term after a disaster. Don't let your company become part of this harsh reality; invest in the future of your business. Why do you need an inventory? Most small businesses have a rule of thumb to expense anything under $1000. Think of how many items of furniture, electronics and other assets cost less than that. None of these items will be captured on a capitalization or depreciation schedule. We take the time to understand your business and identify critical assets. Without an inventory, it can take 4 to 12 months to list everything you own and get through the claims process. If you have an inventory, and a fire, theft or natural disaster does happen, your initial claim can be quickly submitted within 24 to 36 hours. Disaster preparedness/recovery isn't the only reason you need an inventory for your business. If you are seeking a loan or Line of Credit, your bank will most likely ask for a list of assets and their total value. Presenting your portfolio will provide the information they request, and show favorably that you have this detailed record. Additionally, a 3rd party documentation of assets prepared for sale or purchase of a business helps create the full picture of total assets.
