Is your small business prepared for the next blizzard, ice storm, hurricane, or other kind of severe weather? If a power outage in your area lasted for a few days, or even a week, how long would it take your business to recover? According to a study done by the Association of Small Business Development Center, “more than one in four businesses will experience a crisis in a given year, and of those that have no backup plan, 43% never reopen.” Raise your hand if your small business has a backup plan for the next weather emergency or natural disaster…
These days, more and more people are choosing to protect their businesses with a standby commercial generator. Whether you are in the food service business and have perishable items that require constant refrigeration, health service or veterinary field and have medical equipment that must run 24-hours-a-day, or are in sales and the loss of power simply means that your customers can’t reach you and vice versa, a standby commercial generator could prevent these problems from being catastrophic to your business. If your computers lost power, are you at risk for losing valuable records and data? They say an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Well, a standby commercial generator as backup could prevent “pounds” of loss to your business.
Power is vital to any small business. When you have a generator as a backup power source, it switches on when your grid-fed power is off.
