"Even during a crisis
you can have control
of your business.."
About: Business Continuity Planning
Business Continuity planning, no its not just for big business, more often
than not these have the funds and resources to recover from a disaster, it
is believed that around 80% of all businesses that suffer a disaster go out
of business within 18 months. The loss of a big business is rare it's the
SME's who really suffer!
Why is pre planning so important? Imagine, your business, you've invested
all of your time and resources into making it work, you have worked damned
hard to create a contented and loyal customer base, you have established a
sound reputation for paying your suppliers and are respected locally as an
important member of the business community. Then one-day disaster strikes!!
Your customers can't contact you to buy more products, your suppliers can't
contact you to deliver the essential supplies you need, and as a result you
lose customers to your competitors and the confidence of your suppliers. Your
cash flow rapidly diminishes and with it your profits!
It doesn't have to be this way, by developing a simple plan, a business continuity
plan, you can protect your business to ensure that no matter what disaster
strikes you are prepared and "Business as usual" is the only thing your customers
and suppliers see!
