What could go wrong and how likely is it?
You should look at the things that could go wrong for your business. And if they did, what sort of consequences might there be.
For example, which of these might happen?
- Fire
- Flood
- Loss of power
- Loss of computer
- Denial of access to the premises
- Loss of key staff
- Loss of reputation
For each possible risk you should decide on how likely you think it may be. If it's almost certain and would have catastrophic consequences, you should put in place some risk minimisation plans. And you should ensure you have a business continuity plan in place.
Sustainability in business today is about knowing and managing your risks.
