Business Continuity

Business continuity or disaster recovery planning has been uppermost in the minds of many large companies for over 10 years, however, the thought processes or actions have not filtered down to the smaller business who are just as vulnerable.

It is a known fact that a business, regardless size, that suffers a major disaster (fire, flood etc) is not likely to be in business within 12-18 months in 50% of cases.

Planning

Without a plan any amount of backup precautions may prove worthless. Major companies can justify employing someone whose sole responsibility is to prepare, test and in worst case implement a disaster backup plan. This option is not economically viable for the smaller businessman, and thus the responsibility will fall back on the Directors/Owners of the business.  

W Accountancy Limited can help in preparing a plan that is suitable and applicable to the business.

Paperwork

Despite the talk of the paperless office for the past 10 years or so, very few businesses can get away from the paper files, be they sales orders, invoices, customer/supplier information and a mound of accounting information. There are a number of options available today to overcome this problem and W Accountancy Limited would be pleased to discuss these options.

IT Backup

Most people when discussing disaster backup think of IT as being the heart of any plan. This is in fact one of the easiest elements to address with a sound daily backup regime, and off-site storage, fire safe etc.

Premises

Often overlooked is the fact you have planned your disaster recovery to the nth degree, but a fire has destroyed your premises, where do you re-establish your business, more pertinent is if you need more than just office space (i.e. warehouse, manufacturing, fabrication). Premises are all part of the overall plan and must be addressed.
