FAQs
Every business owner has questions when it comes to preparing for disruptions. These are the ones I hear most often — and the answers will help you see why resilience matters for your business. If you don’t see your question here, just reach out — I’m happy to help.
What happens if my business isn’t prepared for a disruption?
If you’re not prepared, even a short outage or storm can shut down your operations, cost you thousands in lost sales, and drive customers to competitors. Recovery is often slower and more expensive than expected — sometimes businesses never reopen. Preparation is about protecting your people, your revenue, and your reputation.
Is this just another sales pitch?
No. This review is designed to give you real value whether or not you ever work with me beyond this step. You’ll leave with clarity, quick actions, and confidence in where you stand.
How does the Free Resiliency Assessment work?
It’s a quick 2–5 minute online check-in that gives you a clear readiness score. You’ll see where your business is strong and where gaps could leave you vulnerable. It’s fast, simple, and designed for busy owners.
How is this different from insurance?
Insurance helps you after a loss. Business continuity planning helps you avoid the loss in the first place. The two work hand-in-hand, but only preparation keeps you open during a disruption.
What does it cost if I want more than the free review?
The review is completely free and no-strings. If you want deeper support, we’ll talk about next steps that fit your business and budget. You’ll always know the options before making any decision.
What do I get in the free 20-minute Business Continuity & Resilience Review?
We’ll walk through your results together. You’ll get clear explanations of your score, practical “quick wins” you can put in place right away, and insight into how other local businesses are staying open through outages. No jargon, no fluff — just useful guidance.
Why does business continuity matter for small businesses like mine?
Because small businesses are often hit hardest. Even a few hours of downtime can mean lost sales you don’t recover. Being ready gives you a competitive edge — customers see you as reliable and trustworthy, even during tough times.
Being prepared isn’t about having all the answers today — it’s about starting the right conversation. If this page raised a new question for you, or if you’re curious what your readiness score looks like, the best next step is simple.
