Small businesses rarely have a continuity plan until a disruption actually happens.
Having a plan sized for a small business, not enterprise jargon, means you're not improvising the first time something actually disrupts you.

Enterprise disaster-recovery frameworks are built for organizations with dedicated IT and risk teams, which makes them mostly useless to a small business trying to figure out what actually matters if a fire, outage, or key person loss hits.
Identify the handful of functions that must keep running, payroll, customer communication, core operations, and who covers each if you're unreachable. Confirm your critical documents and data are backed up somewhere other than the physical location where a fire or flood could take out your primary copy. Know how many weeks your business could operate on cash reserves if revenue stopped, and what your insurance actually covers versus what you assume it covers. Draft the actual message you'd send to customers and employees during a disruption in advance, so you're not writing it from scratch under stress.
We built this after noticing most continuity planning either doesn't happen or borrows enterprise-scale jargon that doesn't fit a small business. This is scaled to what actually matters at that size.

Is this built for enterprise-scale businesses?
No, it's scaled specifically for small-business disruptions, not enterprise disaster recovery frameworks.
Does it review my actual insurance policy?

How often should I update this plan?
