Considering a new commercial fence for your business? You’re likely wondering: “What’s the ROI?”
While a fence is an obvious solution for securing outdoor equipment, its benefits extend far beyond basic security. Here are four ways a new commercial fence can boost your business’ value.
#1) Increased Curb Appeal
We all know the more attractive your business looks, the more likely it is to bring in customers. And even a basic chain link fence can help to increase that curb appeal by creating clean, sharp lines that define your property.
If you ever want to sell the business, and if your building is one of your business assets, then the fence can contribute to the overall value and appeal of the property.
#2) Well-Defined Property Lines
“Good fences make good neighbors.” It applies to businesses too!
A fence and a well-defined property line can prevent expensive legal disputes. It also prevents accidental (or even intentional) encroachment by other businesses, who might want to sneak a shed or a driveway onto your property.
Of course, a boundary survey is necessary to make absolutely sure your fence is legal and on your side of the line, but that’s something that happens during the permitting process, and the permitting process is something we help with.
#3) Safety & Security
Theives and vandals aren’t just a threat to your property and profitability. They’re a threat to your employees and customers too.
If a criminal harms a human at your business you could end up with a negligence lawsuit on your hands. The fact that you put a fence on your property for security’s sake can demonstrate due diligence and may be a factor in a legal defense.
We are not, of course, lawyers. You should consult your lawyer. But in general, taking steps to prevent problems can help. Plus, protecting the humans who interact with your business is the right thing to do if you can.
#4) Insurance Savings & Compliance
Why keep paying higher insurance premiums? Insurance companies often offer a discount when you have a strong fence around your property. The savings may help offset the cost of the fence over time.
In some cases, insurance companies require a fence on the property, depending on your property location and type. That’s not a fun reason to buy a fence, but it can keep you from losing your policy.
