Planning for emergencies – business continuity
If your business was struck by fire, flood or computer failure, do you know how you would set about finding temporary premises, meeting your deadlines or making sure your staff know what’s going on?
Many small firms never return to business as usual after a serious crisis but a bit of careful planning will increase your organisation’s chance of survival.
Making a business continuity plan
There are a wide range of events, ranging from natural disasters to terrorist attacks, that can put your business at risk. Making a business continuity plan, so that you and your staff know what to do when an emergency occurs, can help your business to carry on.
More than 50 per cent of companies that have a business continuity plan remain in business when hit by disaster.
