Interruptions are rarely welcome – especially when you’re trying to work.
So, imagine if you run your own firm and it’s the business that is interrupted.
There could be a million reasons why – flood, fire, IT security, cash flow, electricity supply and many more.
But the point is, while your business is not running, you’re losing money!
It costs the average business £8,755 for a two-week interruption. Insurers reckon 550,000 small businesses have been affected by some sort of down time over the past two years, with the average period of downtime a whopping three months!
That’s a number of potential headaches from staff wages, to paying suppliers to general cash flow.
But it’s not just the financial implications when a business cannot trade for a period of time. There’s the damage to the reputation too. They say reputation is one of the hardest things to build but the easiest to lose – that’s a currency that is vital to many small firms but can be severely damaged by goods and services grinding to a halt.
