Small Business Insurance

I hope you will pardon my apparent absence for the last few days but the pressure of work has just kept us from so many things that we would much rather be doing. The work is still there to be done but we’ve hit one of those strange little lulls in a project that comes while others catch up to us.

Of course, right in the middle of all that work a major storm swept through the region and knocked the power out for over five hours. We were not impressed because it hit about 6pm and affected a wide area around where we live.

Fortunately we could continue working with our laptops and so the loss of power didn’t affect us too drastically. We even had the good fortune for the power to out at a point where we had both saved all the work we had been doing so we weren’t too badly affected by the blackout.

However, things could have been worse and the experience has just brought forward the purchase of several uninterrupted power supplies (UPS). A UPS is basically a battery back up for your computers and gives you ample time to save all your work and shut down the computer if a blackout strikes.

Little insurance policies like a UPS and the laptops are important for small business and we also found another useful task that a laptop can perform. Dining by the light of a laptop screen may not be all that romantic but at least you can see what you’re eating. :)
