Strategies that Can Save Your Business

“Do you have an adequate Disaster Recovery Plan for your business? According to the Institute for Business and Home Safety, Open for Business – A Disaster Planning Toolkit for Small to Mid-Sized Business Owners, “Each year disasters such as floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, and wildfires force thousands of businesses to close. But even more common events, such as building fires, cause the same result. Our research shows at least 25 percent of those businesses that close following events such as these do not reopen. Many that do struggle to stay in business.” Inadequate planning and preparation tops the list of reasons for devastating data loss. Don’t let your business become another statistic - join us September 16, 2008 from 11:30 to 12:30 pm to learn about preparing disaster recovery plan. A complimentary lunch will be served." |
