Business Continuity
Business continuity for small businesses
Business continuity is the discipline of keeping the essential parts of your business running when something disrupts normal operations. For small businesses, the goal is a short, realistic plan — not a 200-page document nobody reads.
What 'continuity' really means
Identify the handful of activities you cannot stop for more than a day: serving customers, taking payments, paying staff, protecting stock. Continuity planning protects those first.
The minimum viable plan
A one-page list of critical activities, who owns each one, backup arrangements, and the first three things to do in the first hour of any incident.
Common disruption scenarios
Power outages, flooding, cyber incidents, supply chain failure, and staff unavailability. Each module on WorkplaceReady maps to one of these scenarios.
Reusing your Business Profile
Once your Business Profile exists, every future readiness module builds on it — no re-entering details.
