Business continuity advice
About this service
Business Continuity is a planning process which provides a framework for ensuring resilience of your business to threats and challenges. This approach will help you to ensure that key customers, your brand, reputation and key suppliers are maintained, as well as your long-term survivability.
Business Continuity needs to be considered by small companies and organisations as well as larger corporations. Incidents and disasters can have catastrophic effects on businesses and the threats can come from incidents originating through accidents, criminal activity or natural disasters.
Nearly 1 in 5 businesses suffer a major disruption every year.
Featured in this section are several documents which may help you in the business continuity process:
- A 10 Minute Assessment, of your organisation which will help you decide your current position on Business Continuity Planning.
- A 5 Step Guide, to help you start your plan.
- A Guide for Small Businesses, which includes Risk Assessment, Business Impact Analysis and a generic plan to assist you in writing your own. The guide also includes a list of useful websites that deal with business continuity.
If you are a manager/director, owner or business continuity manager in a Wiltshire-based business and you are interested in knowing more about Business Continuity, contact the Emergency Planning Unit.
