With every new business comes the business owner's dream of doing what they love and have always wanted to do.  As they say, expect the unexpected.  The road of entrepreneurship is filled with potholes, look out!  

At any time, a pipe can burst or a fire can spark due to faulty wiring.  Do you know what you are going to do when something like this happens?  An ERP is an Emergency Ready Profile.  Planning for the unexpected will make things smoother when an incident does happen.  This will result in less time in a discontinued operation situation.

An ERP involves creating a list of emergency company contacts for a variety of issues as well as address and directions to building, listing pertinent building information such as utility shut offs and stairway/elevator access locations, knowledge of any hazardous materials on-site, etc.  Other things to think about, where will the emergency vehicles park?  What is the chain of command for your organization when it comes to an emergency? 

Running a business is keeps a person busy enough, the last thing a business owner needs is to see their dream collapse because he or she is not ready for the unexpected.  Don't let your business grind to a screeching halt for an extended period of time, put an ERP in place now.  SERVPRO of Southwest Dallas can assist in getting this game plan together, reach out to us today!
