All of them are interconnected and interdependent. In order to prevent such situations it is necessary to identify risks to foresee possible development in the future. The article provides specificity of the algorithm for researching risks at trade enterprises and shows features of identification and complexity of classification schemes of factors and risks connected with damages.
