Are you at risk for a cyber attack?

Cyber-attacks are a growing threat for small businesses and the U.S. economy. According to the FBI’s Internet Crime Report, the cost of cybercrimes reached $2.7 billion in 2020 alone.
Small businesses are attractive targets because they have information that cybercriminals want, and they typically lack the security infrastructure of larger businesses.

The most common types of cyber attacks are:

Malware- software intentionally designed to cause damage to a computer, server, client, or computer network. Malware can include viruses and ransomware.

Viruses- harmful programs intended to spread from computer to computer (and other connected devices). Viruses are intended to give cybercriminals access to your system.

Ransomware- malware that infects and restricts access to a computer until a ransom is paid. It's usually delivered through phishing emails and exploits unpatched vulnerabilities in software.

Phishing- a cyber-attack that uses email or a malicious website to infect your machine with malware or collect your sensitive information. Usually appear as though they’ve been sent from a legitimate organization or known individual. These emails often entice users to click on a link or open an attachment containing malicious code. After the code is run, your computer may become infected with malware.

How do you protect your business?
-Assess your business risk
-Train your employees
-Use antivirus software and keep it updated
-Secure your networks
-Use strong passwords
-Protect sensitive data and back up the rest

What are the Do's & Don'ts of starting a business?

Do Innovate-
The most successful businesses are more innovative, they offer new products & services more often. It's important to enhance internal efficiency and adopt new technology quickly.

Don't Rely on only a few customers-
Diversification is how your company will thrive. Keep your current customers happy, but don't leave your company vulnerable if you lose your biggest client.

Have you ever failed before?
20% of small businesses fail within the first year, and 67% fail within the first 10 years.

That is due to:
1. Financing Hurdles
2. Inadequate Management
3. Ineffective Business Planning
4. Marketing Mishaps

Starting out is about mostly trial and error, but your legal protection should never fluctuate.

Contact me to make sure your business DOESN'T end up like the majority.

Thank you for the lovely review, Linda, I appreciate it!

What is the California Consumer Privacy Act? (CCPA)
The CCPA gives consumers more control over the personal information that businesses collect about them.

This gives consumers the right to:
-know about the personal information a business collects about them and how it is used & shared
-delete personal information collected from them (with some exceptions)
-opt-out of the sale of their personal information
-non-discrimination for exercising their CCPA rights

What businesses does the CCPA apply to?
For-profit businesses that do business in California and meet any of the following:
-have a gross annual revenue of over $25 million
-buy, receive, or sell the personal information of 50,000 or more California residents, households, or devices
or
-derive 50% or more of their annual revenue from selling California residents’ personal information

The law is about to change, though, and will be in effect Jan 2023. Contact me to stay up to date on all the emerging trends and judicial decisions.

Do you want your business to succeed? It may feel like an uphill battle, but there are a few traits every successful business has, and you can impliment into yours as well!

Provide a great product/service-
This might sound like an obvious statement, but some small businesses try to make lower quality products to match competitor's prices. If you make a truly great product the customer reviews and word of mouth will help your business. Having repeat cusotmers that rave about your product is more beneficial than just making a bunch of one time sales.

Stay organized-
Whether you use a filing cabinet or digital folders, access to information quickly will make a big difference in a small business.

Do your research-
To target customers efficiently, its important to know what they want and what motivates them.

Record keeping-
To stay on top of your finances make sure you:
-Identify sources of income
-Keep track of deductible expenses
-Support items reported on tax returns

Keep focus & have patience-
A lot of business fail because they either get discouraged from not getting immediate results, or they lose sight of what they wanted their company to be.

Make tough decisions-
Pride can kill a business and not all decisions will always align with your opinions and beliefs, but every business owner must make sacrifices for the sake of business.

Save money-
Obvious, but necessary, saving money is the best way to protect yourself through the "dry seasons" of business.

Hire the right people and treat them well-
Any company is more than just its CEO. Invest in your team, and they will increase your profits exponentially.

Contact me for help through this process and we can get your business started together.

Do you find yourself filling your day with time consuming, unimportant tasks?
Delegating is an important step in starting your own business or managing one that's established. New business owners think they need to do it all because they CAN do it all, but this will just burn you out! Spend your time and energy doing things that ONLY you can do in your business and delegate the rest and build up an amazing team!
