ATTENTION BUSINESS OWNERS

DO YOU HAVE A BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLAN?

 

If your business shuts down for any reason, how many days can you survive? Regardless of the size of the organization, every business should have a business continuity plan. Your plan should document contact information for key personnel as well as important vendors and customers. The plan should list a meeting place in the event that your facilities are damaged or destroyed. Every plan is different based on the needs of the individual organization. If you need help developing your business continuity plan there is a wonderful resource right here in the Lake Area.

 

If you were in business in 2008 and impacted by Hurricanes Gustav or Ike, you are now able to take advantage of Business Continuity Planning services available through the Louisiana Small Business Development Center at no cost.
