Did you know that 40 to 60 percent of small businesses
never reopen their doors following a disaster?
According to the 2009 Disaster Recovery &
Business Continuity Survey from Charlotte, N.C.-based Agility:
•
Ninety percent of smaller companies (less than 100 employees) surveyed
spend less than one day per month preparing and maintaining their
continuity plans.
•
One in five (22 percent) spend no time maintaining their plans.
•
Comparatively, 20 percent of larger companies (more than 100 employees)
spend over 10 days per month on their continuity plans.
The Small Business Administration (SBA) is partnering with Agility Recovery Solutions to launch Prepare My Business, an online
educational portal which provides small business owners access to a variety of
tools and solutions to strengthen their firms’ resilience when faced
with unforeseen interruptions — whether man-made or natural disasters.
