Business Continuity

Business Continuity Management is about identifying those parts of your business that you can't afford to lose - such as information, stock, premises, staff - and planning how to maintain these if an incident occurs.

Any incident, large or small, natural, accidental or deliberate can cause major disruption to your business. Planning now will help you to get back to business in the quickest possible time.

Effective business continuity management can:

• Reduce the chance of disruption
• Minimise the impact of a disruption
• Reduce financial losses
• Prevent loss of business
• Enhance reputation
• Build staff confidence

Rochford District Council is required to promote Business Continuity Management by the Civil Contingencies Act 2004.  Although the Council is not in a position to write your business continuity plan, we can give advice, the links and documents below will help you write your plan.
