RESILIENCY: A Foundation for the FutureTo assist companies with weathering this and future adversity, the FSBDC is also offering

to work with its clients to prepare a Business Resiliency Plan (BRP) based upon a national,

America’s SBDC framework built on proven best practices addressing the necessary steps to

protect businesses and help them survive the next business crisis or natural disaster. The Plan

is focused on:

Preparation and planning are critical parts of business resiliency. The BRP addresses them

fully: risk/hazard management; suppliers and distributor relations; producing an Emergency

Response Plan including communications protocols, roles and responsibilities, back-up locations,

system security and policies and procedures (e.g. work-from-home policy, etc.); identification of

preventative measures and local resources for future crises/disasters; and definition of action

plans for implementing a business recovery plan.

A Business Resiliency Plan is a foundation for survival in the next disaster, and having a plan is

a shared “Lesson Learned” for recovery in the future.

CONTINUITY: Managing into the New NormalRevitalization of your business does not end with recovering from the COVID-19 shutdown or

preparation of a Business Resiliency Plan. The FSBDC is here to help businesses with ongoing

consulting, business training and market information resources available through the University

of Central Florida, including implementation of the Digital Marketing Plan and ongoing financial

analysis and market research.
