A recent study has revealed that over half of small to medium sized UK businesses have been targeted by crime. The research was commissioned by Victim Support and the security firm ADT and it found that crime was costing these businesses £2,625 on average for each incident and has collectively cost SMEs £25m.
The study found that criminals have been repeatedly targeting SMEs which has led to numerous days where they have been unable to trade.
Gail Hunter, a spokesperson at ADT, said: “This new research shows the shocking scale and impact that crime can have on small and medium businesses and disappointingly, the figures show that there is a strong possibility that it could happen again.
Our aim is to help prevent crime and give business owners and their staff peace of mind. We advise business owners to take proactive steps to help protect their businesses and livelihoods.”
