GOVERNANCE & RISK
Know What Could Stop Your Business and Have a Written Plan Before It Happens
Most owners carry a mental list of worries: the supplier who might fail, the one employee nobody else can replace, the big customer who pays late, the server that holds all the data. The list stays in your head, so it is never ranked, assigned or acted on until a crisis arrives.
We help you write that list down, score it sensibly and decide what to do about each item. Then we draft short continuity plans for the few events that would hurt most, so your team knows who does what on the first day, not the tenth.

Practical support,
step by step.
- 01Run a risk discovery session with you and key managers across sales, operations, people, money, technology and premises
- 02Build a risk register with a description, likely cause, owner, current protection and next action for each risk
- 03Rate each risk on likelihood and impact using a simple scale your team can understand
- 04Choose the handful of risks that need a written continuity plan, such as supplier failure or loss of a key person
- 05Draft one-page response plans with contacts, first actions, decision makers and customer communication
- 06Identify single points of dependency in people, suppliers, customers, tools and bank access
- 07Suggest practical mitigations like backup suppliers, documented procedures, cross-training and data backups
- 08Set a review cycle so the register is updated each quarter and after any near miss
