Continuity Check

What is the Continuity Check?

A tool to help check if a business can cope when things go wrong. (The technical term is an online business continuity management diagnostic).

It shines a light on the areas your clients try not to think about;

Who will run things if key staff are absent/resign/get ill?

Could the business survive fire/flood/vandalism?

Are there back up copies of crucial information and documents?

How will cash flow be managed during a disruption?

Do key suppliers have emergency plans in place?
 

Each year thousands of businesses fail to answer these questions and the hard work of the owners and their business advisers goes down the drain.

What is so different about the Continuity Check?

Many sources state the theory behind business continuity management. They tell a business to analyse risks, quantify impact, back up data, assess key suppliers, manage cash flow...they just don’t explain how!

Complete a Continuity Check and you instantly get a tailored report in plain English with practical suggestions on how to address the key problems uncovered.

How does it help the work of business advisers?

The Continuity Check highlights where a business is weak and suggests how to make it stronger. This analysis is needed by start ups, established companies and those thinking of investing. It forms an obvious part of the services which advisers already offer;

Business plans – a section on business continuity will show banks, investors and insurers that the business is a safe bet.

Marketing – business continuity is about convincing customers you are more reliable than the competition.

Growth plans – it is vital to properly check that new suppliers or partners won’t let you down in a crisis.

The Continuity Check assesses eighteen business critical areas where a business adviser can do what they do best – bring outside perspective and give strategic advice. Check out an abbreviated sample report.

But is this something advisers can really use?

“It is an excellent tool which can be used by business advisers when working with both established businesses and those wishing to set up their business using good practice guidelines. It allows the business owner and their team to analyse and assess all areas of risk in a non threatening way”.
