Online Business Resilience Check
Online Business Resilience Check for Spotting Potential Weak Points in Your Business Before Disaster Hits
Running a business means handling uncertainty. Costs can creep up, sales can slow down, customers can get cautious, and suppliers can drop the ball when you least expect it.
This checklist is designed to help you do a quick check on how resilient your business is.
You’ll spot the areas where you’re already solid, as well as identify areas where you might be vulnerable if the unexpected happens.
Go through these 15 simple checks. Tick off what you’ve got covered, then circle anything that needs work. That way, you’ll know exactly where to focus so a surprise doesn’t turn into a full-blown problem.
