Protect the continuity of printing businesses operations.
A continuity plan should look beyond physical repairs. For printing businesses, recovery can depend on printing businesses 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 printing businesses operation
Values and timelines to test
- Property, equipment, inventory, and income values for the printing businesses operation
- Payroll, revenue, locations, vehicles, and other current exposure schedules
- Information supporting commercial property, equipment breakdown, and business income
- Information supporting general liability and professional or printers errors and omissions where available
- Information supporting cyber, inland marine, workers' compensation, commercial auto, and umbrella
Questions to resolve
- Operations or risks not fully disclosed for the printing businesses 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- Outdated values, classifications, limits, deductibles, or recovery assumptions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 printing businesses 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.
