Abstract
When a business experiences a disaster, such as the one on 7 July, 2005, it makes people realise just how essential it is to have a proper business continuity plan in place. Also how important it is to consider the way a business works overall, what is critical, what are the priorities, and how and when a business may need to shut down in order to concentrate on critical functions for survival as well as to limit both reputation and financial damage.
