FAQ

Q: What is business continuity planning, and why do I need it?

A: Business continuity planning is a proactive strategy that ensures your business can keep running during and after a disruption (e.g., natural disasters, power outages, cyberattacks, supply chain failures). Without a plan, small businesses risk financial losses, reputational damage, and even permanent closure. This service helps you stay operational and resilient.

Q: Do I need this if I already have insurance?

A: Yes. Insurance helps with financial recovery, but it does not prevent operational disruptions. A continuity plan ensures you can keep serving customers, reducing losses before insurance kicks in. Also, some insurers offer discounts to businesses with continuity plans in place.

Q: What happens after I get my business continuity plan?

A: A plan is only as good as its execution! We help you test the plan through simulations and tabletop exercises. We also provide staff training to ensure that your team knows their roles and can act quickly when disruptions occur.

Q: My business is small. Do I really need a continuity plan?

A: es! Many small businesses lack the resources to recover quickly from disruptions, making them more vulnerable than large corporations. Even a short period of downtime can lead to lost customers, supply chain issues, and financial instability. A continuity plan helps ensure you can adapt quickly, reduce losses, and maintain customer trust.

Q: How long does it take to develop a business continuity plan?

A: It depends on the complexity of your business. Most plans can be developed in 4–6 weeks with a combination of assessments, planning, and testing.
