Every year almost 20% of businesses suffer major disruption, many never recover. Past experience from major incidents in the UK shows that organisations that have business continuity arrangements in place are more likely to stay in business and recover more quickly than those that don't.

Because it makes real business sense. Emergencies can disrupt businesses, affecting profits and operations. This is bad for employees, shareholders, customers and the local community.

If you want to stay in business after disaster strikes you need to undertake some careful pre-planning. You will find that it is quick, easy and inexpensive to create a business continuity plan.

There is no 'one size fits all' solution to business continuity planning although regardless of size the basic process is the same.
