Business Continuity: Ready in 10 Days.
If something went wrong tomorrow, does your business have a plan?
Most SMEs don't — until they need one. A cyber incident, a key person off sick, a supplier failure: any of these can stall a business for weeks. We build you a clear, practical continuity plan in 10 working days, so you're ready before you need to be.
The problem
The disruptions that catch SMEs out.
A cyber attack locks your systems on a Monday morning.
No email, no orders, no idea what to tell clients.
Your operations lead is off for six weeks, unexpectedly.
Critical knowledge walks out the door with them.
A key supplier folds without warning.
Delivery commitments missed, contracts at risk.
What's included
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
Process mapping workshop
We map the processes that actually keep your business running — and the people, systems and suppliers behind each one.
Risk & impact assessment
We pressure-test what could realistically go wrong, how badly it would hurt, and where you're most exposed today.
Business continuity plan
A clear, written plan covering response steps, owners, comms templates and recovery priorities. Built to be used, not filed away.
Team walkthrough session
We talk your leadership and key staff through the plan so everyone knows their role before they need to play it.
