Description
To protect your agritourism business, it is important to create a risk management plan, and understand the forms of risk shifting and corporate formalities.
Risk shifting can take on many forms, from purchasing an insurance policy to hedging investment positions to corporations moving from defined-benefit pensions to defined-contribution retirement plans like 401(k)s.
Some of the main areas of risk and negligence include site safety risk, product risk, employee related risk, and financial risk.
