If the day comes where your business is hit with disaster or emergency, you can rest assured SERVPRO of Houston County will be there to help.

When you own a company, you have a full-time role as well as an infinite to-do list that often days goes home with you too. It’s understandable that you would have a lot on your plate!

Whether it’s recruitment or bookkeeping, inventory or advertising, it’s simply a lot of labor. And if you are not prepared for the worst, all of that tireless work might just be risked.

You’ve worked extremely hard to accomplish what you have to this point. Because of that, you want to do all you can to ensure that your business has the best possible chance of surviving if disaster strikes.

It can be difficult (often impossible) to get your company back up and running after a fire, storm or other disaster. According to FEMA, 40% of small businesses shut permanently after a tragedy, with a considerable number of those that do open closing again within only a year.

So, how can you prepare for a successful recovery from a disaster? Having a plan in place for what to do next if your organization is hit by a catastrophic event might make the difference between survival and failure.

In fact, three-quarters of small businesses in the United States don’t have a disaster plan. It checks out that the companies that are prepared for tragedy have a higher chance of recovery.
