Not necessarily. Depending on your insurance cover, tackling the clean-up yourself could save your insurers money while slowing down your business’ recovery.
After a disaster, you may think it would be best to pull in your entire workforce to help with the damage limitation or tidying up. However, this locks up your staff who would be better employed in updating customers or suppliers and trying to keep the business running.
While a damage-limitation company would cost you money upfront, you will gain an expert team that knows how to limit the physical damage while your team can stick to the work you know best. Moreover, it is often better to incur these costs if they are covered by your insurance — you are unlikely to recover lost income from putting your staff on clean-up duty.
