Why does my business need a continuity plan?
Disasters big and small happen without warning, and being unable to provide your products and services to your customers can seriously hurt your business reputation. Having a plan in place before a disruption can make for a more effective response and faster recovery. With a plan in place, your business is better equipped to:
- Remain competitive by staying open for business
- Reduce any financial losses you may experience
- Identify the weaknesses within your business
- Improve your dealings with banks, creditors, investors and insurers by showcasing your business resilience
- Protect staff and customers from harm
