Two
major challenges small business owners face after disasters are sales
losses and a diminished customer base. In a survey of 7,500
small and medium-sized businesses by the National Federation of
Independent Businesses (NFIB), 62% said losing profits and clients
was their biggest post-disaster challenge.
Whether
it’s a fire, flood or tornado, small businesses face an uphill trek
when it comes to rebuilding in the aftermath of a disaster.
That’s why it’s important to have a recovery plan in place.
Assessing
your company’s risks is one of the first steps in creating an
effective business continuity plan. Join Agility Recovery and
the U.S. Small Business Administration on Tuesday, July 8, for an
online discussion on how to protect your business before a disaster
strikes.
SBA
has partnered with Agility to offer business continuity strategies at
its “PrepareMyBusiness” website. Visit www.preparemybusiness.org
to download disaster planning tip sheets and to view archived
webinars.
The
SBA provides disaster recovery assistance in the form of low-interest
loans to homeowners, renters, private nonprofits and businesses of
all sizes. To learn more, visit www.sba.gov/disaster.
