One of the problems we face as a small business owner in the food industry is our equipment faults.
Refrigeration Repairs is costly and there are no 'short cuts' or 'can not fix' attitude to these problems. Before one of our fridges breakdown we would have previously insured it. But sometimes unfortunately when a claim is made the insurance company does not approve of such a claim. There is a risk when this does happen.
As a business owner I do the following:
1. insure against refrigeration breakdown;
2. insure against loss of stock;
3. insure against loss of trading;
4. regularly maintain and clean refrigeration and its motor units; and
5. have a close relationship with your local refrigeration repair company.
From my experience, the last two strategies is probably the best and most practical. As the insurance company requires you to submit numerous documentation and support before they even consider your claim. It could take some time too.
In all practicality, we need to continue trading and having on board the refrigeration expert. It is a sure way to continue what your good at; running your business!
In Sydney, we highly recommend Fresh Refrigeration Sydney
