COVID-19 – Importance of having a plan

READY YOURSELF FOR OPERATIONAL DISRUPTION
It is important to think about how this will affect your business, is it supply or demand that affects you and what does this mean in terms of stocks, cash management etc?
What would happen if you also became sick or you need to self-isolate?

LOOK INTO CONTINUITY OF SUPPLY
Consider where you source your products, materials and think about whether these supplies are likely to be disrupted, if they are then what alternative plans can be made?

ENCOURAGE HEALTHY BEHAVIOURS IN YOUR TEAM
It may be a good time to remind staff to stay at home if they are ill, can people work from home and if not, can you implement social distancing.

CONSIDER HOW YOU ENGAGE WITH YOUR CUSTOMERS
If the virus affects how you deliver your goods or services to customers it is important to contact them to inform them of this and manage expectations. Most of us are likely to affected in some way it is working out how and what we can do about it that counts.

From first going self-employed to starting a limited company, the fantastic accountants at Sage have talked me through the processes and looked after all things accounts-related, leaving me with peace of mind; free to focus on the day-to-day operating of the business. Sage handles everything for me from payroll to tax returns and their service is flawless; when I need something its done; when I need info I get it. All of their staff are friendly, professional, efficient and patient and I couldn’t manage without them.
