Summary of 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.

Details of Service

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 (pdf 72Kb)pdf link, of your organisation which will help you decide your current position on Business Continuity Planning.
  • A 5 Step Guide (pdf 112Kb)pdf link, to help you start your plan.
  • A Guide for Small Businesses (pdf 145Kb)pdf link, 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.
  • Business Continuity Companies (pdf 97Kb)pdf link, a list of some of the companies that offer particular services in the Business Continuity/Risk Assessment field. This list is by no means exhaustive; it has been compiled with companies that have made contact with the Emergency Planning Unit. In producing this list Wiltshire County Council does not recommend any specific company on the list. A decision to use any of the services on offer is entirely up to the business seeking the service.

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.
