A Norma business is entitled to making profits and losses too. However we can minimise or prevent the occurrence of losses in the business.
Most businesses make losses through theft. This can be shoplifting ( theft made by customers) and also there is theft that is done by the employees. A business must therefore implement the right policies to curb theft of the business assets and merchandise by employing a good security services to man the business premises.
The business must also implement high detectives on its inventory system to make sure that it cannot incur losses from receiving understocked orders from the suppliers.
Also the business can suffer losses from administrative errors made by the cashier's by giving wrong change and balances to the customers.
The business should also maintain an effective inventory system that can make sure everything that is required by the customers are well stocked to avoid the losses through selling of stockouts.

It's important to acknowledge and accept the fact that you will face losses of various degrees when you are running a business.

Some people start a business while they are not willing to accept this, then complain every time they lose and even quit because they think the business doesn't work. You should however, learn to identify those losses that are normal and those that mean serious trouble for your business.

One way I know that is very helpful to avoid losses is planning well, especially for problems that will come up when you are running the business. It's safe to say that many people don't take this seriously. Some don't account for how they will carry out their marketing to make sales, or extra expenses that will come up in the course of running the business.

It's also important to firmly address and solve problems when they arise, not when they have compounded. It's easier to solve one problem, than to solve ten.

The best ways that one can avoid business loss is by doing and taking the necessary business steps that will guarantee the stability and non dangling nature of the Business.

First and foremost the place of strategic planning cannot be overlooked. There is nothing meaningful that is realized in the absence of planning. Business too needs planning so as to ensure that future probabilities are ascertained and all the possible ways by which any unfavorable circumstance will be easily resolved will also be known.

Another thing is the presence of good and proper management. When there is the absence of good management, and the business is not managed properly, there will certainly be a lot of problems whether financially or in any other aspect and it will certainly give rise to one or more business challenge.

There are many more things but these two some of the Important ones that should be considered.
