Fraud, Theft & Loss Prevention Solutions for Your Business

Managing internal and external theft, fraud, and loss can feel overwhelming for many businesses. At 1848 Ltd, we identify vulnerabilities in your operations and provide practical, informed solutions to reduce risk and strengthen business resilience.

We bring extensive investigative experience across civil proceedings, criminal prosecutions, and insurance-related cases. Our team handles internal theft, employee dishonesty, retail shrinkage, and complex fraud matters with clarity and professionalism—always prioritising effective communication and transparent progress reporting.

Fraud is rising nationally, with many victims finding it difficult to progress cases through traditional reporting channels. When police action is limited or unavailable, we can build a civil case supported by strong evidential findings. Civil proceedings benefit from a lower burden of proof—operating on the Balance of Probabilities—making this a powerful avenue for resolution.

Loss Prevention Services

Loss prevention is essential for reducing avoidable financial loss from theft, fraud, and operational error. Globally, retail and business sectors face significant impacts—the National Retail Federation reported US$112.1 billion in retail shrinkage in 2022 alone.

Our loss prevention services include:

  • Risk assessments of business or retail environments

  • Process reviews to minimise operational errors

  • Internal controls and policy recommendations

  • Staff education and awareness training

  • Ongoing advisory support to reduce future incidents

1848 Ltd equips you with the insights and strategies needed to safeguard your business and protect your bottom line.
