Another day, another dollar and so it’s business as usual, or maybe not. Many companies are facing business continuity issues due to the current health related problems. Although the pandemic has been a serious issue to overcome, it is by no means the only threat to business.

- Utility problems (power / water)
- Telecoms (communications, phones, landlines etc)
- Personnel
- Building problems (floods, fires, damage)
