What Every Small Business Should be Doing But Isn’t: A Quick Start Guide to a Disaster Preparedness Plan

Although small businesses recognize the impact data loss could have on their business, more than half do not have a disaster preparedness plan for business data, according to a study from Carbonite. During the seminar, Pete Lamson, Carbonite SVP of Small Business, will discuss the common reasons a small business owner may not have a disaster preparedness plan in place, what can happen to these businesses should a disaster strike, and how to create a plan on their own now. He will also take a deeper look into actionable items that can be implemented today to help protect small businesses and provide resources to help further prepare them overall.

Attendees will learn:

• What common misconceptions are holding back many small businesses from having a disaster preparedness plan in place
• The 3 critical components a disaster preparedness plan should include for a small business
• How to create a plan to help ensure your business can continue operating should a disaster – natural, technical or otherwise – strike
• Key (FREE) steps a small business can implement immediately to get started with a plan.
