3 Ways to Show You Care January 31, 2022 Valentine’s Day is the perfect holiday to show your loved ones how much you care. This year, don’t just get flowers and chocolates. One gift that can truly last is insurance. It may not be as romantic as a dozen roses, but it can provide protection for life. Protect Your Valuables Home is where you usually feel safest and where you keep your most prized possessions. Whether you’re a homeowner or a renter, both insurance lines offer personal property coverage. Personal property coverage covers personal belongings inside a home in the event of damages or theft that may not be covered under a general Homeowners or Renters Insurance line. Personal property coverage can provide a sense of security and help in recuperating valuables. Reach out to your local OKFB Agent and see if the jewelry you have or are planning to give for Valentine’s Day is covered. Travel With Confidence Planning a weekend getaway for the weekend of love?

We offer a wide range of coverage options that could help you when making new memories wherever your travels take you. Support Your Employees The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us that small businesses have to expect the unexpected and adapt quickly. Many Oklahoma businesses have suffered from lost revenue, staffing shortages or have had to close their doors completely. One way to show you care for your employees is to give the gift of insurance. Our fully-customizable Business Owners Insurance includes Loss of Income coverage that could help cover a loss of net income due to suspension of operations and help pay for continuing payroll expenses. BONUS – How We Care: Drive with Peace of Mind One auto-related gift to offer a loved one, and no, we’re not talking about buying a car, is Roadside Rescue. As an OKFB member or policyholder, we give you the gift of Roadside Rescue. This is a free service that provides 24/7 assistance wherever you or your loved one is nationwide. Enjoy the gift of traveling with confidence and peace of mind wherever and whenever this Valentine’s Day.

3 Ways to Prevent Small Business Fraud November 10, 2021 Having a small business can be a rewarding experience, yet it comes with many challenges. Fraud can not only affect individuals, but it can also affect small businesses, which ultimately can impact the bottom line and future success. To help protect your business, check out these tips to help you minimize the risk of fraudulent activity. Conduct Internal/External Audits Internal and external audits can help ensure your assets and finances are not being impacted by outside parties, as well as provide other helpful financial information and advice. External audits are typically done by certified public accounting (CPA) firms to review financial statement accuracy. Meanwhile, internal audits can be performed by an outside certified firm or self-assessed. They serve to evaluate operational, managerial and financial policies and procedures. Sign up For a Business Fraud Training Course Enrolling in fraud awareness training could help you identify fraudulent activity. The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) reported, “the presence of anti-fraud training programs are associated with lower fraud losses and quicker detection.” The ACFE hosts webinars and offers online training courses. Additionally, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) provides resources on best practices that could help in mitigating fraud. Implement Cybersecurity Best Practices Hackers, or even employees, can commit fraudulent activities on work computers. To protect your business data, set up strong passwords and consider using an antivirus program. It is also important to be aware of phishing attempts that often come through email. Additionally, it could be beneficial to back up your files on a frequent basis. This way if something does happen, your business data can be restored. Fraud could happen at any time during the year, and we are here to help keep you protected. Check in with your local OKFB agent and take some time to review your Commercial Insurance policy to ensure everything is updated and covered.
End of Year Checklist for Businesses September 29, 2020 As the end of the year approaches, every small business has things they need to do to prepare for the upcoming year. Review your business’s activity and begin strategizing on potential changes that could help further drive your business’s success. This process may seem overwhelming, so here are five things to start with when compiling an end of year checklist! Finances Towards the end of the year is the perfect time to review your business’s finances. For instance, completing a profit and loss statement, balance sheet or cash flow statement. These documents help pull together the big picture of a business’s financial fitness. With this financial information, you can assess which times of the year your business performed the best and worst. Knowing this can help when strategizing next year’s goals for each quarter. Employees While revenue plays a significant role in business, it’s also important to reflect on your team and how they’re doing. This could be a good time to provide employees with feedback, as well as ask for any in return. Getting employee input on processes or projects may bring up ways to increase efficiency. Also, remember to audit personal employee information, as it is important to ensure this general information is always up to date. Marketing Now is also a good time to review marketing efforts and impacts from the past year. Reflecting on past actions can help strategize and prioritize the best marketing efforts that can produce the biggest return on investment. For example, your business’s online presence is crucial. Ensure that your website and social media efforts are working the way you need them too. If they aren’t, then this is an opportunity to think about how to improve these channels and implement any changes. Achievements Although taking note of administrative information is important for annual planning, it is also important to reflect on past wins and achievements. Celebrate and share these successes with your employees and customers. This could be a great way to end the year on a high note and get excited about your company’s future and goals. General Housekeeping This could be a great time to make sure all the little things are in order. Conducting an audit over digital data could be a great start. This can mean filing information to ensure everything is organized or even backing up data. Additionally, conducting a physical inventory could provide insight on which products sell and which don’t. General housekeeping can offer a fresh start when the new year begins. Along with completing an end-of-year checklist for your business, remember to also check in with your OKFB agent and review your Commercial Insurance policy. Many changes and updates can happen in a year, and as your partners in business, we want to help ensure you’re covered. Check out our Businessowners Insurance policy, specifically tailored for small businesses, as well as our commercial policies to ensure your business is protected.
