September is National Preparedness Month, and it’s a good reminder that emergency planning is part of running a resilient business.

Take one hour this month to review your emergency plan, talk it through with your staff and key vendors, and consider how your business would respond to a fire, power outage, flood, snowstorm, or other disruption.

A strong plan goes beyond knowing where important documents are. Think about staff continuity, emergency contacts, critical vendors, data access, and basic supplies.

Don’t have a plan yet? Start small. The SBDC can help you think through the details and get organized before an emergency happens.

Schedule time with an advisor at sbdclynchburgregion.org.

SBDC advising isn’t just for startups, retail businesses, or product-based companies. Professional service businesses can benefit from it, too.

Dr. Henry Bruns brought years of experience in counseling and clinical supervision to Premier Supervision and Consultation, but running a business required an entirely different set of skills. Through the SBDC Lynchburg Region, he received guidance around branding, website development, marketing strategy, funding, and planning for sustainable growth.

That support helped Henry secure a $5,000 grant, strengthen key partnerships, and build a foundation for expanding his work with clinicians, supervisors, agencies, and universities across Virginia.

If you’re an expert in your field but still figuring out the business side of your practice, you don’t have to do it alone.
