Business continuity
We have a statutory duty under The Civil Contingencies Act 2004 to offer business continuity advice to businesses and organisations in North Somerset. We aim to ensure you have the tools to prepare, plan, respond to and recover from any unexpected interruption to normal activities.
Government figures suggest:
- nearly one in five businesses suffers a major disruption every year
- 80% of businesses affected by a major incident close down within 18 months
- 90% of those who lose their data are forced to close down within two years
Data sourced from the British Insurance Brokers’ Association website.
Don’t let your business be affected in this way.
