Protect Your Business

According to research, around 90% of businesses that suffer an interruption to their operations from a flood, fire or other major disaster will close within 18 months due to a loss of business.

To minimise the impact of an interruption to business, it is important that a company has a comprehensive Business Continuity Plan in place in the event of a major disaster. A Continuity Plan can allow a business to carry on operating without the use of its primary premises, for example, or with key staff missing. Getting your business back up and running when others around you are still experiencing disruptions to their service can give companies a significant competitive edge, winning new customers, enticing customers over from competitors, and maintaining good service and satisfaction with your existing customers.

Protecting your computers, paperwork and office furniture from flood damage in a Floodbag is a important part of your Business Continuity Plan and will greatly improve your ability to be back up and running quickly.

A construction company in the Cayman Islands recently purchased a number of Floodbags to protect their office equipment and electrical tools during a hurricane. The months following a hurricane are busy times for a construction company so the last thing they want is to have to build their own business back up before they can take on any work. With their business protected by the Floodbag this construction company can ensure they are one the first to be back in business helping everyone else repair their buildings.

Whatever your business, where ever you are in the work, a Business Continuity Plan relevant to the threats you might face is an important part of your corporate strategy.
