Welcome to Business Continuity Planning Specialists

Most large businesses have a continuity plan in place to recover from the plethora of business interruptions that are caused by something as small as a broken water main to a major fire or natural disaster. However, the majority of small and medium sized businesses do not establish contingency plans. Regrettably, according FEMA, 40 to 60 percent of small businesses are unable to reopen their doors following a disaster.

Continuity planning and disaster recovery is a time-consuming, daunting task. This is one reason cited by the owners of small and medium businesses – they just don’t have the time because of the responsibilities of the day-to-day operations. The same is true for businesses that have an Operations Manager, CFO or other top management – they, too, wear many hats and just don’t have the time. In addition to creating the plan, there is also the issue of remembering and having the time to maintain it.

Additionally, the business owners lack the knowledge of how to create a plan even if they did have the time to devote to this project. And last, but certainly not least, there is always the issue of budget constraints. The uncertainty of time-based consulting is often a roadblock to moving forward on this much-needed service. Business Continuity Planning Specialists LLC has the answer.
