Why Having A Business Continuity Plan Is Crucial For Your Business

10/1/2019

 
Why Having A Business Continuity Plan Is Crucial For Your Business
​A Business Continuity Plan (BCP) is usually very helpful for any business. This is mainly because every business faces emergencies or disasters that can hinder its continuation. If your business does not have a continuity plan you might be forced to close down in case of emergencies or disasters. This makes it paramount to know exactly why having a business continuity plan is crucial for your business.

Maintaining Customers

If your business does not have a continuity plan you are at risk of losing some of your customers in case of a disaster or emergency. You will be compelled to shut down your business and you might not be able to reopen. Even if you reopen your business, it means that for a certain period of time you will not be able to serve your customers. This might force some of your customers to go to your competition to get the goods or services they were getting from your business. When you reopen some of the customers will not come back. This will result in your business losing a significant percentage of its customers. You will have to start as if you are an entirely new business.

Loss of Skilled Employees

​When you do not have a business continuity plan you are also at risk of losing some of your talented employees. This is attributed to the fact that if you shut down your business the employee will have to look for work somewhere else. With a proper continuity plan you will avoid the problem of having to shut your business in case of unforeseen emergencies. Even if you shut down it will be just for a short time. But if you shut your business for a long time you will most likely lose some of your employees. When you finally reopen you will have to start looking for people to work for you and this can take a lot of time.

Safeguarding Your Financial Status

​If you do not have a business continuity plan you are at risk of losing some of the properties owned by your business or even the entire business. This can be an even bigger disaster if you owe money to people or financial institutions. You will not be able to comfortably repay the debts you owe unless you have a plan to deal with risks. Even if your business is faced by a disaster and you have a continuity plan you will be able to continue running the business and this will give you the power to repay your debts. The continuity plan you come up with will be in a position to protect you and your finances in case there is unforeseen emergency.

Ability to Plan Ahead

​Just like any other business person you want your business to grow and become bigger. To achieve this you will need the assurance that even if your business is faced with an emergency it will continue growing. Without a proper plan you will not have the confidence to continue planning for your business. But if you have a business continuity plan you will be able to plan because you will be almost guaranteed that your business will continue growing even after facing emergencies. Therefore, it is always paramount and helpful to have a business continuity plan for your business.

Kayleigh is quite simply one of the most efficient VAs I have ever worked with. Whatever I ask for is delivered without fuss, with appropriate reminders, and often with a good suggestion proffed too. She has brought clarity and consistency to some complex newsletter and events tasks I had been struggling with. She works very effectively with others too. I have reason to be grateful to Kayleigh every week and so happy she is part of our team. ​
