What would you do if someone called you to tell me that the building where your business is located has been destroyed by a fire
If you can't point to a plan which would help you get your business back up and running within a a day or two, then you seriously need to consider BCP.
The first reaction people ask when someone talks to them about business continuity planning is "What is Business Continuity Planning and why do I need it?" This of course is a legitimate question. Your business is important to you, your employees, and your clients. Making the decision to develop and maintain a business continuity plan is prudent and a demonstration of your continuing commitment to excellent service to your clients and your community.
Our methodology uses a phased approach to plan development, deployment, maintenance, and testing. This methodology helps us deliver an effective customized business continuity plan that can be maintained internally. Do not rely on gut feelings that you and your employees will know what to do and how to react if disaster strikes. A documented, maintained and tested plan is the only way you can insure that your business will continue functioning should a disaster strike.

What is a Business Continuity Plan?
A Business Continuity program is a management plan that describes in practical terms how a business prepares and responds to unplanned events that could jeopardize the business’s ability to survive incidents, disasters and catastrophic events while maintaining its long-term viability through continued operations. Events can include localized incidents such as a building fire or power disruption, evacuation of the area where the business operates, disruption of services (such as Internet services, telephone services, etc.), and incidents that prevent employees from being at the place of business.
