Protect the continuity of business consultants operations.
A continuity plan should look beyond physical repairs. For business consultants, recovery can depend on business consultants 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 business consultants operation
Values and timelines to test
- Property, equipment, inventory, and income values for the business consultants operation
- Payroll, revenue, locations, vehicles, and other current exposure schedules
- Information supporting professional liability (e&o)
- Information supporting general liability or a business owner's policy
- Information supporting cyber liability, workers' compensation, hnoa, and umbrella where appropriate
Questions to resolve
- Operations or risks not fully disclosed for the business consultants 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- Outdated values, classifications, limits, deductibles, or recovery assumptions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 business consultants 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.
