As they say, technology is great when it works. But we all know, when essential equipment fails it can bring everything to a grinding halt. This type of interruption poses a significant risk for small businesses where supply chains are short, margins are tight, and one upset in the production process can be the difference between success and failure. This is why every small business should be protecting their ambition by ensuring the right cover is in place, to help them get back in gear and back to business quickly.
