Your Google account password ends up on the dark web. Your phone and laptop are stolen from your car. The supplier you rely on most suddenly folds.

All of these happen to businesses like yours, and more often than you think.

Big organisations have a formal way of breaking business continuity down into five categories of disruption.

It's not exclusive to them, but it's usually explained in language that makes a small business owner think "that's not for me".

Swipe through for the five key areas of disruption, and what they might look like when you're small.

If reading any of them makes you think 'oh s**t', let's chat πŸ”†

"I don't have anything documented."

It's the most common thing I hear, but it's not the problem you think it is.

Keeping your business running if you can't be there comes down to these six things:

πŸ”† Someone who could step in
πŸ”† A way into your systems
πŸ”† A sense of what actually matters and what can wait
πŸ”† The key client details
πŸ”† What needs paying, pausing or approving
πŸ”† A way to keep clients in the loop

The reassuring part? In my experience, most of this already exists in how you work - it's just never been pulled together somewhere someone else could find it.

That's what The Business Back-Up Plan does!

Your clients won't panic straight away. But that grace period you've earned is shorter than most people think.

This is why the Business Back-Up Plan exists - so when life happens, your clients, income and reputation are already protected.

If something unexpected happened tomorrow and you couldn't work, who would keep your business running?

Not just the tasks, but the decisions, client relationships - all the things only you know how to handle.

Most service-based business owners don't have an answer to that question. Not because they haven't thought about it, but because no-one has ever shown them what business continuity can look like for a business like theirs.

That's what the Business Back-up Plan is for.

A simple, practical plan to protect what you've built πŸ’ͺ🏽
