If you need a basic Business Continuity Plan ASAP… and your company is a small office/service/retailer or manufacturer/distributor with up to 250 employees, this “fill-in-the-blanks” template including three sample plans is perfect for you! Best of all, you don’t need prior business continuity experience.

Quick and Easy Business Continuity Plan for Your Small Business: Step-by-Step Template and Sample Plans

By Douglas M. Henderson

Reach for this “Quick and Easy” remedy if you’re suddenly tasked with developing a plan for disaster preparedness–and feel an impending anxiety attack because you don’t know quite where to start.

NOTE: This basic template is targeted to small businesses with little or no prior business continuity expertise who may not have the time nor expertise to build a full-scale business continuity program.

You don’t need any special training or expensive consultants. You don’t need to spend weeks and weeks or empty your bank account to build a basic business continuity program.

Just go page by page to edit the Microsoft Word template; updating instructions are included as needed in the template and you can refer to the exact same page in the three completed sample plans for guidance. Doug Henderson distills his extensive experience as a business continuity consultant to give you succinct, field tested tips for what to include and why. He includes an abundance of handy forms, checklists, charts and tables for easy completion and distribution. Just completing the forms for “Who’s in Charge” and Immediate Actions will give you a satisfying sense of accomplishment and momentum.

In only a few hours you’ll create a basic, yet fully customized plan unique to your business, which is also compliant with major standards. You’ll have a plan in place to address all the fundamentals of disaster preparedness – and you can build on it later as you have the time and need.

This basic business continuity toolkit includes…

• One Microsoft Word template with color coded sections so you can customize your plan based on company size (under 100/up to 250 employees) and type (service/retail or manufacturer).
• Three sample plans for three fictitious companies – a very small service or retail business (under 100 employees); a small service or retail business (up to 250 employees); and a small manufacturing business (up to 250 employees). Sometimes companies are a mixture of service/retail/manufacturing, so you may find parts of each sample plan applicable to your situation.
• ReadMe.doc file with updating instructions to keep your plan current.
• Bonus file with assorted how-to articles, including:
  • Coping With Physical Disaster
  • Family Disaster Planning
  • Business Survival in the 21st Century
  • Facility Evacuation

…and offers you many advantages:

• Was developed by a 20-year veteran in business continuity consulting — a small business owner himself — who knows the specific needs of small businesses
• Has been extensively field tested in a variety of business environments
• Is written in Microsoft Word, designed with extensive “Fill-in-the-Blank” and “Edit-Out” text
• Requires no special training in the discipline of Business Continuity Management (BCM)
• Results in your own customized plan that addresses all the fundamentals, all within a few hours
• Is compliant with professional standards from the Disaster Recovery Institute International (DRII) and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1600 Standard on Disaster/Emergency Management, as well as industry best practices
• Can be used for student practice in corporate training classes in business continuity/disaster recovery– site licensing available.
• Provides an optional upgrade path to several more sophisticated templates and tools for whenever you’re ready to build a more comprehensive business program for your growing business.

Congratulations – You’re Prepared!

You have complete, documented and tested business continuity and/or disaster recovery plans. You’re all set, right?

But wait – are you certain you’ve addressed all the issues? Doesn’t it make sense for another pair of eyes to take a second look – especially if your cost was minimal?

For a limited time and exclusively for Business Survival(tm) subscribers, Rothstein Associates has made special arrangements with Paul F. Kirvan, FBCI, CBCP, CISSP NCE, to audit a plan you select against industry standards BS 25999 or NFPA 1600.

All this – for the special price of only U.S./Canada $295.00 (€240 or £195)!

Paul will promptly send you a detailed report with the results and his recommendations based on his experience with hundreds of business continuity plans.

It’s not often that you can take advantage of one of the most experienced business continuity practitioners so inexpensively – don’t waste this opportunity! This is not a ‘canned’ report – Paul will deliver customized recommendations based on your actual plan documentation.

Paul Kirvan, FBCI, CBCP, CISSP, NCE offers over 20 years hands-on experience in all aspects of business continuity and disaster recovery. He is a board member of the Business Continuity Institute and has been a partner of Rothstein Associates for almost two decades.
