Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery


Having a tried and tested, successful and well-thought-out business continuity and disaster recovery plan is essential for any business. Aside from the very obvious benefits to having a plan in place, there are also hidden benefits including reduction in insurance premiums, and easier entry to client supply chain databases.
Your business may well run smoothly day in, day out, with no cause for concern. But what happens if you take yourself, or one of your key people out of the equation unexpectedly? Or if you're suddenly unable to access your head office, or any of your electronic data?
Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Planning is about recognising the value of your assets, including your human assets, and having a short, medium and long term plan in place should the unexpected happen. 
The team at Bear & Cactus can help you to identify your risks and put plans in place to ensure that your key business functions can be up and running again in no time. 

Risk Management


Every business is subject to risks beyond internal control. Do you have a good understanding of the risks that affect your business? Do you have a documented plan to mitigate or remove those risks?
Risks come in many forms. The most obvious involve your reputation, programme, finance, people and technology. But what about the risks posed by emerging competitors? The economy, and Brexit? How about changing expectations from HMRC, or Immigration and Customs? 
We can help you to identify all the key risks to your business and your industry, and get them documented. We can also help you to put risk reduction and risk removal plans in place, to demonstrate to your stakeholders that your business is here to stay.

Succession Planning


Every business has key players; roles and personnel who are integral to the ongoing success of the organisation. Succession planning is an essential process for identifying and developing new talent, new leaders, who can step in to replace your linchpin personnel should they leave, retire, or pass away. 
Succession planning increases the availability of experienced, capable and reliable employees who are prepared to assume these roles as they become available. 
We can help you to identify the business-critical roles and personnel within your business, and build succession plans to ensure that the wisdom and experience stays within your business even when the faces change.
