Protect yourself against losing your clients

These days, the question SMEs should be asking isn’t what would we do if we were hit by a disaster, but what would the larger companies we have contracts with do? And the answer to that question is that they would go elsewhere.  The continuity of their supply chain demands they work with companies that have plans in place to withstand a disaster. We’re talking everything from rats nibbling through cables, to premises burning down or being destroyed by floods or worse.

And it’s SMEs who stand to lose the most if disaster strikes, due to localised offices and smaller portfolios of products or services. Meanwhile, the bigger companies can bounce back, thanks to their diverse spread of income, locations and sources. So it’s time you put a plan in place.

Three key questions to ask

• What kinds of disaster would lead to bankruptcy for my organisation?
• How quickly would we need to recover to ensure we could continue to meet our obligations?
• What are the likeliest disasters to affect my company? Loss of connectivity? Infrastructure failure? Fire?

Corbel will give you continuity

Most SMEs believe they could bounce back from any problems that might strike them – and they probably could… with a little support and a one-stop backup plan.

Corbel works with SMEs to develop a bespoke backup plan that fits your needs. It might be as simple as a robust off-site backup procedure, or a complete recovery service based in the Cloud. With further access to one of our three workplace recovery facilities, giving you a complete ‘business as usual’ service, no matter what was going on. It depends on your requirements, risk factors, and size.

We regularly review, update and test our plans to ensure they’re still fit for purpose. And as your company grows, so will our backup plan.

Corbel can put your mind at rest

Nobody likes to think of bad things happening to their business. So don’t. Let Corbel do it for you.
