A disruption or disaster can strike any business, large or
small. It can arrive in the form of fuel shortages, severe
weather, IT failures, fire, flooding or simply an electricity
blackout.
If the incident is large enough it may put a business out of
action for a long period of time. A business continuity plan
can make all the difference to whether a business makes a quick
recovery or is forced to close.

- Previous incidents have shown that businesses who had a
business continuity plan in place were quicker to recover from the
emergencies than those who had failed to prepare such a plan.
- 80 per cent of businesses without a business continuity
plan affected by a significant disruption are forced to close
within 18 months of the event taking place.
- 90 per cent of businesses who lose data as
a result of a significant incident are forced to close within
two years.
Emergencies can disrupt your business, affect your profits and
damage your reputation, which is bad for your employees,
shareholders, customers and local community. By being
prepared you will be able to protect your business,reputation and
staff.
