Further ideas for small businesses, on how to be better prepared for little or no cost:

1) For loss of building: Have good diversion procedures in place, and use a hotel room or make a reciprocal agreement with a trusted other (small) business as initial place of work where you can use phones/PC’s/desks and Internet connection.

2) For loss of key people: Good job rotation policies, delegated authority, and again sharing staff with a trusted other business.

3) For loss of IT/information: Utilise free uploading capacity offered by some Internet providers to conduct remote/online backups.

4) For a supply chain issue (clients/suppliers): Have dual suppliers for key services, and contact key suppliers/banks/regulators soon after an incident to request delayed payment/reporting terms. Ensure the revenue coming from one key customer is never able to “make or break” your business.

5) Utilise a easy-to-use BCP template especially designed for SME’s.
