What Are the Top Five Disaster Risks to Small Businesses?

Two major challenges small business owners face after disasters are sales losses and a diminished customer base.  In a recent survey of 7,500 small and medium sized businesses done by the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), 62% said losing profits and clients was their biggest post-disaster challenge.  

Assessing your company's risks is one of the first steps in creating an effective business continuity plan.  Join Agility Recovery and the U.S. Small Business Administration on Tuesday, July 9 for an online discussion on how to protect your business before a disaster strikes.    

SBA has partnered with Agility to offer business continuity strategies at its "PrepareMyBusiness" website.  Visit www.preparemybusiness.org to access past webinars and preparedness tips. 

The SBA provides disaster recovery assistance in the form of low-interest loans to homeowners, renters, private nonprofits and businesses of all sizes. To learn more, visit www.sba.gov/disaster.
