Business Continuity Advice

The Civil Contingencies Act 2004 has placed a new duty on local authorities to promote the adoption of good Business Continuity practices in their business community.

 

Whether through natural or man-made events - flooding, storms, fire, theft, terrorism - statistics indicate that a large proportion of businesses thus affected either never re-open for business, or suffer such losses to competitiors whilst they are unable to operate that they collapse within a short time after the event.

 

Business Continuity is all about making sure that you have suitable plans in place so that if the unthinkable happens you are able to respond in a planned way and minimise the damage - both financial and reputational - to your business, and to get you back on your feet as quickly as possible.

 

Havant Borough Council is able to offer advice to you about Business Continuity. A member of our staff is available to offer help and guidance for you to draw up your plans (although we won't actually draw up the plans for you).
