BCM for Small Businesses

As a Vermont-based business, we know a lot about the challenges facing small business owners. Worrying about the competition, negative reviews, staffing, security, cash flow ... and even too much success too soon... can make running a business feel more like the business is running you.

ContinuityWorks provides the coaching and support that small business owners want and need but often don't feel that they can or should afford. We encourage and support professional and organizational development as a big step toward managing with intention, instead of by default.

It’s also way less stressful!

Our small business package is affordable and focuses on owner self-empowerment, trouble-shooting strategies, and action plans.

We provide mentorship, support, and guidance as you build an internal business continuity program that will serve your business going forward. Engagements typically start at $5,000 and range upward depending on your unique goals, program scope, and complexity. When first starting a small business continuity initiative, we advocate for a 'Keep It Simple, Sweetie' mindset. Grow as you go.

Custom quotes are also available for strategic planning and execution to deal with very specific risks and operations challenges that are hitting you where it hurts and need fixing right away.

Talk to us... we are here to help and we'll try to figure out a way to make it work for you!
