Disaster and business recovery planning

Statistics indicate:

• One in five organisations will suffer a major disaster every five years
• Only 43 percent of companies suffering a disaster ever recover sufficiently to resume business
• Among those that do reopen, only 26 percent are doing business two years later. If their data is lost, 50 percent go into liquidation immediately

Why? Because trying to operate the business while concurrently managing the consequences of disaster, such as proving losses to insurance companies, restoring property and rebuilding customer databases, proves to be impossibly taxing.

What can you do? The best way to minimise the impact of a business disaster is to have thought through the business’ activities, considered the consequences of various disaster scenarios and prepared contingency plans.

At Anderson Ballantine we are qualified to assist you in preparing contingency plans that will ensure you are not amongst those businesses that collapse in the face of disaster
