The world is on fire! The WHO has already declared Coronavirus COVID-19 a pandemic and some countries are on lockdown because of it. It’s affecting people’s lives and businesses from all different angles.

From a business perspective what would you do when something like this happens? Especially when it’s something completely outside of your control?

Does your business have a backup plan for when the unexpected happens? It’s difficult to know how to begin developing a backup plan without some guidance and there isn’t a one-size-fits-all rule.
