Did you know that almost fifty percent of small businesses that experience a disaster never reopen their doors? In fact, eighty percent of companies without a concrete, tested business continuity plan are out of business within two years after experiencing a major disaster.
Think a disaster won’t happen to you? One in five businesses (twenty percent) have suffered a disaster that resulted in suspending operations for a period of time.
It doesn’t have to be a major catastrophe to be a disaster to your business. A disaster can be something as commonplace as a fire. Recent natural disasters have demonstrated that any interruption to your business can shut down your operation, costing you time, money and customers. Odds are good your company isn’t prepared.
The Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce has launched the Open for Business initiative to educate and encourage members to develop a comprehensive disaster preparedness plan for their business. Open for Business is a Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce publication designed to make it easy for you to create a preparedness plan for your company. The Open for Business guide includes forms, checklists and easy step-by-step guidance to take the guesswork out of planning.
You have invested countless hours and resources into building your business and making it successful. Protect your investment. Disaster preparedness planning is your company’s best insurance policy for surviving the unexpected and improving your chances of staying open for business.
