			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg44/gilbien03/commercialinsurance.jpg" height="150" weight="150" align="left" hspace="5">It is a happy thing to start a business and you will be happier if the business runs well. You may rejoice over your first sale of your business. But one thing you should remember. Along with the grate feeling of grand opening of your business you should have received your commercial insurance too. </p>
<p>Let You Hard Works Bear Fruit:<br />
Now think of your business. How much time have you spent to start this wonderful thing? What are the arrangements you made for the grand opening. How many people you contacted regarding this event. You have put into this business lot of time and energy. Now you have to do something so that nothing could destroy your business you have worked so hard to build.<br />
<span id="more-41"></span><br />
Training To Employee:<br />
Your employees are those who bring about the desired result of your business. Train them well so that they may provide an excellent customer service. Every business grows based on the customers only. So, concentrate on your business is equal to concentrating on your employees and customers.</p>
<p>Choose Commercial Insurance:<br />
The next most important thing is that you purchase the proper insurance for your business. You can not take things light here. It is vital. Hence you need to purchase commercial insurance for your business. I would like to mention a few things here, why you should go for commercial insurance.</p>
<p>Why Commercial Insurance:<br />
Commercial insurance protects your business from destruction because of unfortunate and unexpected incidents. Even if someone chooses to sue you, your business will not get spoiled, because the commercial insurance shall hold your business up. </p>
<p>In the presence of proper commercial insurance, even if you face a mountainous opposition and failures, your business will go on running gloriously. You or a key person in your business organization may get sick to the extent of not being able to perform the expected duties that are vital to the existence of your business, but still your business will flourish. Business insurance is like car insurance or health insurance. When you have it, you do not think about it. But when you do not have it, you know well what it will be for you. I need not explain.</p>
<p>Commercial Insurance is important to the well being of your business now and for ever. Just think of you and your business. How much input is there? The input may be in the form of hard human labor, investment, tools, time and many more. While your business is a product of so much of you and of all the above said, it can only take one discontented customer to ruin everything. </p>
<p>So mush of hesitation we have to drive around without car insurance. Why? Questions such as how to face the loss in the event of meeting with accident and getting the car damaged?  Our business is important. It sustains us and the lives of many. It will sustain the lives of many more in the years to come. So, purchase the right type of insurance for your business and live peacefully.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg44/gilbien03/explosion09-11-01.jpg" alt="terrorism insurance" hspace="5" width="140" height="165" align="left" />When figuring out the price of property insurance premiums, you must taken into consideration every possible factors. The top concern of an insurance provider is just how much risk are they Of course, the main worry of any insurance provider is the amount of risk they are responsible for if they give someone a policy, because the greater that risk, the more that policy will cost. This fact has been in effect for quite some time and is the manner in which insurance companies work.<br />
<span id="more-38"></span><br />
Since the terrorist attacks which occurred on September 11, 2001 against the World Trade Center, commercial property insurance has gone up and up in expense. Add in the natural disasters such as Hurricanes Rita and Katrina and it is a fact that the situation isn’t getting any easier.  It appears that commercial property insurance is no longer as ironclad of an investment now, unlike how it was in past years. We know that fact by taking a look at the rising costs of insurance premiums, which makes this a dilemma for insurance providers. This is true because every property owner must have property insurance. It doesn’t matter what they must pay. A commericial property owner cannot ever get a loan if they don’t have the property insurance coverage. That fact has created problems in today’s economy.</p>
<p>On the other hand, the fact that commercial property insurance is still rising makes it hard on the business community, because policies are having their premiums raised, the coverage changed or even canceled or varied until the average insured person’s needs can’t be met.</p>
<p><strong>The facts concerning the Terrorism Risk Insurance Extension Act:</strong></p>
<p>The Terrorism Risk Insurance Extension Act, or TRIEA, has produced a type of gap insurance coverage needed by property owners who purchased insurance against terrorism acts on their properties. This is imperative due to the fact that a lot of insurance companies find it hard to issue insurance for something like that because it is an extremely hazardous danger. It is vital that mortgage and loan companies, along with the property owners, get the insurance they need to be safeguarded against all potential acts or dangers.</p>
<p>By the conclusion of 2007, a crucial change takes place; the Terrorism Risk Insurance Extension Act expires, changing the features of the post-911 insurance business everlastingly. It was established for the reason that there was a new role for insurance that could not be met, which was the danger of terrorism. Because of that, Congress is re-thinking legislation concerning insurance, together with the legality and requirements of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act.</p>
<p>Providing a federal terrorism insurance policy available is vital because lacking this, private commercial property insurance is scarcely within the means of most, thus making a financial quandary.  In portions of the United States, the ability to be able to buy sufficient commercial property insurance coverage would become much smaller, thereby making trouble for the business community and might even lead to a drastic trade and industry stall.</p>
<p>People at all dealing in real estate market should recognize that property insurance has an important role in the real estate industry. The same thing applies in that the real estate market must remain healthy in order to have a vigorous economy.</p>
<p>Neither of these can survive without the other, and that is why real estate agencies and the CCIM are trying to get legislators to put some sort of federal program into effect. A lot of them hope to be able to maintain the Terrorism Risk Insurance Extension Act to provide coverage for destruction done to property due to terrorism acts or those that are because of any other foreign attack or act of war.</p>
<p>At this moment, the future of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Extension Act is at risk. Real estate members working in the industry are about to be required to either do something immediately, or have this federal catastrophic insurance plan taken away, which will result in clear-cut troubles now and in days to come.</p>
<p>It falls to Congress and the Bush Administration to determine if TRIEA will be put back into place, and whatever they do will decide the future of the wellbeing of the real estate industry in the United States. Many legislators hope it will be possible for them to understand the value of this federal insurance plan in the real estate community, and the significance in the entire United States economy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg44/gilbien03/business_insurance.jpg" alt="" hspace="5" vspace="5" width="200" height="200" align="left" />Professional Indemnity insurance is for businesses that provide consulting services, in which employees offer professional advice on behalf of the company. Professional Indemnity is to safeguard such businesses from suffering negative consequences should third party losses arise from any negligence on the part of the company and/or its employees.<br />
<span id="more-35"></span><br />
Credit Insurance protects a business in the event that its customers do not pay for the services provided. If you have not been in business long, it will be hard for you to get credit insurance, because of the high risk to the insurer. The purpose of legal expense insurance is to cover a business’s legal costs should the business become involved in a legal dispute.</p>
<p>Businesses such as retail stores, recreation facilities, or any others that deal extensively with the public should have public liability insurance. This type of insurance helps businesses with legal costs and claims for third party losses incurred in business. Businesses that produce goods need product liability insurance, which covers against claims of loss to the consumer resulting from defective products.</p>
<p>For protection against damages from fire and other hazards, businesses need premises insurance. It is crucial that you familiarize yourself with your policy and make yourself thoroughly aware of exactly what your premises insurance coverage includes. Office insurance provides businesses coverage for office equipment, such as faxes, copy machines, computers, and the like. The equipment it covers depends on the specific needs of the business.  Factory Insurance, similar to office insurance, is coverage for machinery and equipment. It also safeguards your business against risks such as theft and fire. There is even office insurance designed for those who work from home. Home office insurance also covers the office equipment necessary for your home business needs. Home office insurance is usually not included in homeowners insurance so, if you have a home office, be sure to check your policy accordingly.</p>
<p>Businesses with employees must have employer’s liability insurance. This coverage protects against claims of physical harm or death during employment. Fidelity insurance will protect you against losses resulting from fraudulent action by employees. Key person insurance covers the replacement and, if necessary, training of a new employee should you lose a key employee to death or serious debilitating injury. Get complete information about what your policy covers and what this type of insurance policy entails when you get the key person insurance we offer.</p>
<p>Business travel insurance is like regular insurance in that it covers losses and/or damages incurred while traveling. Business travel insurance specifically covers loss and damage to business equipment. Some business travel insurance policies cover the costs of delivery of replacement equipment by emergency couriers. The cost of replacing an employee in the event of illness or death during business travel is covered by some business travel insurance policies. Commercial motor insurance protects businesses from liability incurred in the event of an auto accident. Commercial motor insurance covers death or injury to those involved, except for employees who are working, because employer’s liability insurance covers them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://commercial.insurance123.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/building-insurance-quotes-300x199.jpg" alt="building-insurance-quotes" title="building-insurance-quotes" width="300" height="199" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-31" />Commercial building insurance is insurance coverage for a business.  In fact, choosing the correct business coverage is one of the more important decisions any business owner will make.  This type of insurance is designed to protect your business from potential loss, due to unforeseen events, such as fire, theft, vandalism and natural disasters.  It can also protect your business against liability, business interruption and employee injuries.<br />
<span id="more-30"></span><br />
When you choose a commercial building insurance plan, you will want to take into consideration, the need to protect more than just the physical building.   Factor in not only the property, but equipment, supplies, assets and vehicles, as well.</p>
<p>Terms for a commercial building coverage plan will vary, depending on the extent of coverage, location, and type of business you own.  However, obtaining a quote can be as simple as locating a good agent, whose specialty is commercial insurance.  If you choose to go this route, you will want to interview several agents.  When you make the final selection, you want to feel comfortable in their knowledge and experience levels.  Your agent should be able to discuss different types of commercial insurance options, and assist you in selecting the one that is the best fit for your specific needs.</p>
<p>An excellent resource for locating a commercial building insurance agent is the Internet.  Checking with local business networking organizations is another way to find a good commercial property agent.  Asking business contacts, especially if they are in a related industry, is another way you could secure the services of a qualified insurance agent, who specializes in commercial building insurance.</p>
<p>Most businesses can obtain commercial insurance with relative ease.  However, some businesses, especially those that have already suffered significant loss, may find it is much more difficult, as they are now considered a high-risk company.  Regardless, with the right agent, even these higher-risk companies have options.</p>
<p>Another source for commercial building insurance quotes is using an online search engine.  There are several good ones, and they allow the business owner to search out several commercial property insurance quotes to compare.  When you do your search, however, you will want to specify this is for commercial property, and that it is a small business.  </p>
<p>In order to narrow down an accurate quote, you will need to know what perils are most frequent.  This is how premiums are set.  So, understanding the statistical frequency of major risks, allows you to obtain a more accurate quote on cost.  As you add riders or additional coverage, you can compare the cost of insurance.</p>
<p>Some ways to keep your business insurance costs down is to use some common sense.  As Benjamin Franklin once said, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.  Installing burglar alarms, fire extinguishers, and smoke alarms can help keep your costs down.  Even ideas such as storing duplicate records off-site, can result in premium savings. </p>
<p>There is a lot to learn about commercial building insurance before purchasing a policy, however, the answers are out there, and so are the quotes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://commercial.insurance123.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/building-insurance.jpg" alt="commercial building insurance" title="commercial building insurance" width="200" height="260" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-28" />Commercial building insurance is business insurance.  In other words, it is insurance that ensures coverage for a commercial building against losses that result from theft, vandalism, fire and natural disasters.  When looking at commercial building insurance, make sure you understand exactly what coverage you will be getting.  Some types of commercial building insurance cover only the property&#8217;s structure.  Other types will include coverage for furnishings, equipment, and even personal injury or death that might occur on the premises of your business.<br />
<span id="more-27"></span><br />
When investigating commercial building insurance, you will find it is generally divided into two basic types of insurance, named-peril policy, and all-risk policy.  For all intents and purposes, the coverage is just what each name implies it is.</p>
<p>Named-peril policy coverage protects the property in the event there are unforeseen calamities.  These instances will be named in the policy document.  A named-peril policy might cover damage that results from fire and explosions.  It might include floods and earthquakes.  Because this type of policy only covers explicitly listed risks, you will want to be certain you include the exact kinds of perils for which you want coverage.</p>
<p>When it&#8217;s time to write up a named-peril policy, the insurance company generates a list of likely damage causes.  These particular perils are clearly listed in the policy.  There will also be a clause stating that any cause of damage, not specifically listed, will not be covered under this policy.  </p>
<p>Named-peril coverage is the opposite of an all-risks coverage plan.  With an all-risks coverage plan the business is covered for all potential sources of damage, except any that may be written into the policy as a specific exclusion.  Floods and earthquakes are the two items that are most typically excluded, but coverage for these natural disasters can be added into the policy if the consumer so chooses.  The all-risk coverage policy is advantageous because it protects the property owner in the event of most unexpected disasters.</p>
<p>Because it covers so much more, an all-risk coverage plan tends to be more expensive.  However, for the majority of businesses, a named-peril coverage policy is sufficient, along with a rider that specifically covers flooding.  Still, only the business owner can truly determine his or her insurance needs.  It depends, to a large extent, on the location of the business, as well as the property and equipment you need to protect.</p>
<p>With the variety of companies and packages out there, most business owners can find a small business package that meets their specific needs.  Be careful, however, to determine what exactly you wish to insure, and for how much.  It is wise to take stock of your business property, figure out the value involved, and then decide what is and is not worth the cost of insuring.  Some things to keep in mind when you begin taking stock are the buildings involved, equipment and machinery, inventory you may have on hand, documents and business records.  This would include databases and vehicles used in the business.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Business interruption insurance has commonly been referred to as business income insurance, profits insurance and also earning insurance. The insurance is designed to compensate business owners for losses when their business is forced to shut down. There are many reasons why a business could suffer a loss of income due to a necessary closing. A fire, robbery, or other occurrence that would cause your business to close you could stand to lose money without the benefit of business interruption insurance.<br />
<span id="more-23"></span><br />
Business owners should also carry some type of disability insurance to protect them if they become disabled and are unable to continue their business ventures. There are also insurance policies that will protect a company if they rely on the information or expertise of a particular person and they happened to become injured or disabled and are unable to fulfill their duties, this is known as key person insurance.  Buy-sell insurance can also be purchased to protect you if a partner in the business dies or suffers a disability. </p>
<p>The success of your business may rely on your ability to successfully plan for disaster. There is no one plan that will be right for every business, you have to shop around and compare quotes and find the one that fits your needs. </p>
<p>Business interruption insurance is designed to protect the business owner from losses due to a shutdown or even in the case of relocation of the business. Net profits and any continuing expenses for the business will be covered. You can find policies that will include extra expenses in the situation that you will need to find another location to operate from during the time your primary location is closed. </p>
<p>Below you will find a more detailed list of what business interruption insurance actually covers:</p>
<p>•Lost profits according to your financial records that you suffer while the business is being forced to shut its doors.<br />
•All operating expenses that may occur even with the production stopped in the building such as electricity, water, and other necessary expenses.<br />
•Cost to cover the operation out of a temporary location during the repair process of the business</p>
<p>Business interruption insurance is added to a property insurance policy and cannot be bought separately. You can check with your agent to find out more on the packages they have to offer for business owners.</p>
<p>You never know when an accident or a crime could be committed that could render your business as inoperable and the doors would be closed. Without business interruption insurance to cover the expenses and the lost profits you incur it could possibly mean that the doors would never reopen to many business owners. There is no better way to protect yourself and your business than by ensuring you have the coverage policies in place that will offer you a peace of mind from anything being able to close you down. The policies for business interruption insurance are not expensive and are worth their weight in gold if there ever becomes a need to file a claim. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Business interruption insurance protection offers a peace of mind to business owners. In the event of a fire or any disaster that leads to the closing of the business the policy protects against lost profits as well as many expenses. Without adequate protection a business could suffer to the point that it would never be reopened.<br />
<span id="more-21"></span><br />
Your property insurance will cover the cost of repairs that the building incurred during the disaster but the expenses of the business and any lost profits are not covered in the majority of policies. This means that along with not receiving your normal profits or earnings you will be responsible for maintaining the cost of keeping the business alive. This is often too much for business owners to handle and the business is dissolved.</p>
<p>Business interruption insurance cannot be purchased alone, it will need to be treated as an addition to an already exisisting policy such as your property insurance plan. You can speak to your agent about the different business owner policies that are available to you and how to choose the best coverage.</p>
<p>There are many options that the policy can include, you might need more time to repair the damage to the property than anticipated by the initial coverage time. You can purchase extra coverage to protect against any delays in getting the business doors back open. You will in most cases find that a couple days will go by before the policy will kick in. </p>
<p>The price of your business interruption insurance is considered in the same way as any insurance. The risk factor is determined by the location of your business, the type of production that is taking place in the building, as well as how easily your business could be operate in a temporary location. </p>
<p>If your business can easily be relocated while repairs are being made you can expect a lower priced policy. The insurance coverage will cover the cost of finding a remote place to operate from and therefore save in the expenses they will have to reimburse you. </p>
<p>The expenses that are covered in the business interruption policy are the profits and earnings that you lose while you are unable to operate. These figures are gathered by looking at the companies past financial records. Always be sure to keep your business records in order and up to date to ensure proper coverage in the event of a disaster. </p>
<p>The policy will also cover any expenses that are needed to maintain the business while repairs are being made such as electricity or water or other needed expense. The cost of the buildings lease will not be included if the earnings are being recovered then payments should be able to be maintained properly. The insurance will however cover the cost of relocation to continue the business operations. </p>
<p>You can find different options for business interruption insurance including ones that will offer extra protection and more coverage amounts. You have to shop around to find the best price and the most sufficient coverage. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The term ‘liability’ implies the loss incurred by a person (either physical loss or monetary loss) due to the negligent action of another person. </p>
<p>Irrespective of whether you are an entrepreneur, with a small business set-up of your own, or whether you are the owner of a multinational company, you definitely need business liability insurance in order to protect yourself and your business against third party demands and claims. Business liability insurance prevents you from being held responsible for any kind of liabilities.<br />
<span id="more-17"></span><br />
It pays the damage costs on your behalf to the third party, thereby saving you a lot of money. It also covers for the damage cause to your own employees or your clients, as well as to trespassers, who may have been injured on your property. Business liability insurance also covers your legal costs (in case a someone files a lawsuit against you for any form of damaged caused to them); and the medical costs (including the hospitalization charges, treatment costs, medicine bills, compensation for the unpaid days, as well as rehabilitation costs to a person who has suffered physical damage due to your business). However, intentionally caused damages are not covered under the business liability insurance.</p>
<p>There are 3 different types of business liability insurance – </p>
<p>General liability insurance, (also called commercial general liability) is a must for all types of businesses and shields you against any form of liability such as claims of damage to property, advertising claims, or claims of injury caused on your business premises. It covers the claims of injury that are caused to either your clients, or your own customers on your company’s property, irrespective of whether they made an authorized or unauthorized entry into your premises. It also covers the injury claims made by the company’s employees not only on the business premises, but also anywhere outside, where they may have gone on a business related task.</p>
<p>Professional liability insurance is the next kind of business liability insurance that professionals in the field of banking, dentistry, plastic surgery, or medicine must be equipped with, in order to protect themselves from the numerous professional liability risks. Even stock exchange brokers, environmental consultants, financial advisors, and other professionals, who serve the public in some way or the other, are also expected to have professional liability insurance in order to cover for their professional errors and mistakes, negligence, or malpractice charges. Many governments, mostly in the developed nations of the world have made it compulsory for professionals to obtain professional liability insurance before they start practicing their business. </p>
<p>The third type of business liability insurance is the product liability insurance, which is meant for those businesses, which either manufactures of sells any products. The product liability insurance covers the liabilities such as damage caused to your property (home, asset or vehicle) after the use of the product sold by your company; or physical injury (food poisoning, explosion, electric shock, etc) caused due to the use of your products. The coverage costs depend on the risk potential of your product and the extent of damage caused.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At this economically disastrous note, managing a business is a big confront. Decrement in the earnings and the downward curve of sales from every corner is indeed discouraging, as the costs of the materials have increased and the profit has become very less. In order to decrease their expenses, many organizations are searching for the ways to decrease their costs in terms of their yearly policy premiums along with the other type of cost reductions.<br />
<span id="more-16"></span><br />
When viewed according to cost reductions, companies are paying heavy insurance policies premiums of yearly basis, and they&#8217;ve become very defenseless. As far as the importance of insurance is concerned, most of the firms feel that insurance is not going to support their business at any point as they are not getting any profits in terms of returns for the funds they are investing in the form of insurance. By investing in this field, no organization is getting enough support at their survival of business, as they are not providing enough coverage to their business.</p>
<p>Most of the organizations have been running their businesses for several years, covering all corners of business have more number of policies and they are yet to make renewal at various periods in a year. The best way for the organizations regarding the insurance is to close their policies, so that the policies will end up and then they need to make renewal at the same time, mostly at the last months of the year.</p>
<p>As far as the views from the management are concerned, this has remarkable value. Before the renewal date of all the policies is reached, it is better to make a tender to submit to all the insurance policy organizations and also for their brokers. This idea brings advantages in two ways. One way is to make renewal of all the policies that are yet to renewed at one time instead of doing at various times in a year and the other way, which is more beneficial for the organizations is to make deals with the insurance firms and with the brokers, and also to buy power in the insurance companies.</p>
<p>The best idea to make more out of your insurance is to leave your insurance cover unbroken, even at the tough times and even when you are in need of money. This does not indicate that the owner of the policy should not look at their coverage in insurance and one should take care not to get overstress with the policies.</p>
<p>Organizations should monitor their insurance coverage at all times and should make sure that it is not getting overstressed or over exposed. Many companies feel that the costs can be reduced when they employ an independent consultant in insurance.</p>
<p>Most of the companies have a common insurance for their business and some have a specific coverage according to their business. When the client&#8217;s business is large enough and if they feel that they get credit from them, they offer special policies according to their business needs.</p>
<p>Therefore, the best way for the business owners is to consider insurance seriously and never let out insurance as a contract.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Owners of businesses as well as those whose job it is to manage them bear multi-faceted responsibilities. Their overall goal is to earn profits, which they do by maximizing sales and reducing overheads.<br />
<span id="more-15"></span><br />
A business&#8217;s overheads come from many directions and need to be tightly controlled to keep on even terms with sales and profits. One of the major overheads that any business will have to bear is insurance. </p>
<p>Much as any businessman wishes it to happen, business insurance overheads will not go away. There are certain aspects of business insurance that are compulsory by law, while the majority is at the discretion of the owner&#8217;s. Many businessmen, in an attempt to squeeze every drop of profit have cut back on optional insurance policies and have lived to regret the day. What to live with and what to do without is a challenge that only experience can solve.</p>
<p>This facet, known as risk management, can be the key to the success and even the survival of a business. Managers need to look at every policy they carry, decide it the cost justify the means, and find that thin line between being underinsured and over insured. Many of the larger companies employ insurance consultants to handle their file; such is the importance of the issue.</p>
<p>It goes without saying that a business needs to insure their assets. This could mean property, fixtures and fittings, machinery (where applicable) cars and trucks and sundry appliances. There are many companies who offer their employees &#8220;perks&#8221; such as free or subsidized health and life insurance, as well as pensions in certain cases. </p>
<p>The backbone of a business&#8217;s insurance package will be general liability insurance. This policy, which can cover many aspects of running a business, will cover the company in the event that accidents and injuries occurring on their premises or during work  carried out by an employee, even if it off the premises, as long as negligence on the part of the company can be proved by the claimant.  </p>
<p>These claims can reach astronomical proportions, sometimes involving months if not years of legal debate and expensive court cases. Even if the courts eventually find in the case of the defender, the costs can be very high. On the other hand, if the court finds on behalf of the claimant, the financial damage caused can cripple the company for years, making general liability insurance a must. </p>
<p>Dependant on the nature of a company&#8217;s operations, they may well deem it  worthwhile to take out either product liability insurance if they produce or sell a certain product that later is found to be defective and cause property damage or bodily harm. If a company offers a service, professional or otherwise, they should seriously consider taking out professional liability insurance. This covers against errors and negligence where the clients suffer financial loss.</p>
<p>These types of policies exist within the &#8220;grey areas&#8221; of business insurance, which the owner may decide to forego, thinking &#8221; it can&#8217;t happen to me&#8221; Unfortunately it can, and sometimes does, and those who have made the wrong decision, have found themselves facing business and personal ruin.</p>
<p>Insurance in a business is a complex issue, more so the larger the business gets. Taking insurance cover seriously and being willing to absorb the costs is among the wisest decisions that most companies will make. </p>
