Disaster recovery plan   
​It is crucial to any business to have a 'Business Plan'.  This plan is there to assist you to keep your business on track and in the right direction.

In the past 2 years (or more) it has been very difficult for most business owners to come anywhere near keeping their business headed in the right direction.  One thing that may not have been in 'the plan' is a Disaster recover plan.   

Preparing for disaster could mean the difference between your business being back up and running two days after a disaster or never reopening at all
​
Step 1: Know your risk
Step 2: Plan now for what you will do
Step 3: Get your business ready
Step 4: Be aware
Step 5: Look out for each other

Now more than ever, are you disaster ready?   For more information go to the downloadable PDF below to get your
"Get ready toolkit 5 step plan".
