Data Storage & Protection

As you run your business, you will compile an overwhelming amount of data, documents and files.  With increased threats of lost data and corrupted files and computers, data storage is becoming growing concern for many businesses.  Business owners should plan ahead when it comes to storing important company and customer data, including how this data will be accessed, shared, updated, and protected.  As new technology becomes available, LegalZoom will continue to update its recommendations for data storage and protection.

Credit Reports & ID Theft

For most small businesses, almost all credit will be based on your personal credit and guarantees, so monitoring your credit ratings and being proactive with ID Theft is very important.  Secondly, building and maintaining healthy relationships with vendors is equally as important, given that vendors will check with one another before giving you terms.  Bottom line, maintain and monitor your credit!  And also be sure to pay your vendors on time.
