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

It’s reasonable that you have a lot on your plate when you own a company. You have a full-time job as well as an infinite to-do list that follows you around at all times. It’s just a lot of work between recruitment, bookkeeping, inventory, advertising and so much more.

But all of your hard work might be in jeopardy if you are not prepared for the worst. To get to this point, you’ve put in a lot of time and effort, and you want to do everything possible to give your business the best chance of surviving a disaster.

A lot of times, it is impossible to get your company back up and running after a fire, hurricane or other tragedy. FEMA reports that 40% of small businesses shut down permanently after a disaster, with a large percentage of those that do reopen closing again within a year.

So, what can you do? The answer is to have a plan. Having a plan in place for what to do next if your organization is hit by a disaster incident might be the difference between survival and failure.

In fact, three-quarters of small businesses in the United States do not have a disaster plan in place. It’s only natural that businesses that are disaster-prepared have a higher chance of surviving.

SERVPRO of Lowell assists businesses in disaster preparedness by helping them create a customized Emergency Ready Plan that can be tailored to business objectives, location and industry. If you have a plan in place, you will be able to minimize interruption to business since you will know what to do in the event of a crisis.

On their own, disasters are difficult to cope with. Take advantage of your chance to prepare for a disaster before it occurs. We’re ready to assist you with your Emergency Ready Plan right now.

When your business is ready to prioritize planning and safety to prevent extended downtime, contact SERVPRO to get the Emergency Ready Plan underway from the folks who know all there is to know about disaster and recovery.
