Open for Business: A Business Continuity Plan
Whether it be a fire, flood, hurricane or other natural or man-made disaster, the best time to plan for a disaster is before it happens. While the importance of emergency planning for small business owners may seem obvious, the task may get put off in the face of more pressing concerns. Planning now can make all the difference in getting back to business quickly following a disaster.
