Australian businesses already face enough daily challenges without having to worry about the headaches of unexpected disasters and their impact on financial viability.
Mother Nature can take her toll, but man-made crises can also hit hard, so it pays to have the best and most relevant coverage available.
Vandalism such as graffiti is one of the man-made problems taking a growing toll on businesses, particularly larger commercial and industrial buildings which, by their nature, can be isolated and attractive to criminals. Graffiti vandals alone cost the Australian community about $200 million each year and businesses are bearing the brunt of the damage bill.*
By its nature vandalism is unpredictable but windows are among vandals’ most frequent targets.
