What is a Business Recovery Plan?

A business recovery plan represents an opportunity for a company to outline how they intend to recover from significant periods of financial difficulty, what actions it needs to undertake, how long the process could take, and more. A good recovery plan should be backed by significant research and analysis of the industry and company performance.

There are several things you need to consider when preparing your business recovery plan. These include working out how much income you need to cover all your outgoings (including the repayment of any company debts), the assets your firm currently has, and the funding options that are available to you. You should also pay attention to whether your budget needs adjusting, or if you have any scope to save money. If restructuring is necessary, you need to work out how long this would need to take effect.

It is important that in order for a business recovery plan to be a continued success, company directors should continue to routinely review it to ensure that it remains fit for purpose and that there are no areas it could be improved or amended with the benefit of hindsight. If you are unsure of anything it is recommended that you seek specialist assistance.

FAQs

Assessing the success of a business is not a simple process. Each situation is unique, however there are a few things that you can point to in order to get an indication of whether your business is in financial difficulty.

  • Low cash flow
  • Missed payments
  • Falling margins
  • Increased reliance on new forms of credit to keep the business operating as expected

All of the above could be seen as signs of financial difficulty, and could be an early indicator of tough times being ahead. If you spot any of these potential warning signs, it is vital that you seek expert assistance as soon as possible. The sooner you get help, the more options will be available to you.

If your business is struggling financially it is important that you don’t panic. Stressful situations can cause people to make rash decisions, which is never recommended in business. A company will have people that are relying on it, so it is important that you consider them, and do not rush into anything.

It is recommended that you contact a third party expert who can come in and assess your unique situation and suggest a strategy to help.

It is possible to steady the ship without a third party. However, being in financial difficulty is highly stressful for an owner. It is common to feel trapped and not know where to turn. Having an independent expert review your situation is often better than attempting to handle it on your own.

When financial difficulties hit and the future of your business is on the line, it is important that you are not making the situation even more difficult than it needs to be by making decisions with your heart and not your head. Make sure to put pride aside and ask for guidance from somebody trained to do just that, to assist you in a difficult time.
