Business Continuity Plan for Start-ups
About this document
A proportionate business continuity plan for a new or small business. It helps you identify what you cannot do without, what could stop you trading, and what you will do in the first hour, day and week of an incident – from a laptop theft or cyber attack to illness, flood or a key supplier failing.
The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.
Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
