Protect the continuity of barbershops operations.
A continuity plan should look beyond physical repairs. For barbershops, recovery can depend on barbershops operations, people, property, contracts, technology, vehicles, vendors, revenue, and the risks specific to the business, as well as timely access to people, data, equipment, suppliers, utilities, and customers.
Recovery dependencies to map
- Critical people, locations, equipment, utilities, systems, suppliers, and vendors
- Realistic repair, replacement, relocation, and revenue-recovery timelines
- Customer, employee, vendor, and stakeholder communications for the barbershops operation
Values and timelines to test
- Property, equipment, inventory, and income values for the barbershops operation
- Payroll, revenue, locations, vehicles, and other current exposure schedules
- Information supporting general and professional liability appropriate to the services
- Information supporting business owner's policy, property, equipment, and business income
- Information supporting workers' compensation, cyber, epli, and umbrella where appropriate
Questions to resolve
- Operations or risks not fully disclosed for the barbershops account
- Outdated values, classifications, limits, deductibles, or recovery assumptions
- Contractual requirements or critical dependencies not addressed by the insurance review
Frequently asked questions
Why can the recovery period exceed the repair period?
Permitting, equipment lead time, installation, testing, supplier delays, staffing, customer communication, and the return to normal revenue can continue after physical repairs are complete.
What should barbershops review after a major change?
Locations, operations, values, payroll, vehicles, contracts, vendors, revenue, and controls should be revisited when the business changes materially rather than waiting automatically for renewal.
