Rebuilding Your Business After a Fire or Flood
Your business can rebuild and succeed even after it’s been damaged. But you’ll need to move forward with a plan quickly. Here’s how you can do it:
Take time to review your disaster plan. Focusing after a fire or flood damages your family business can be a challenge for even the most focused business owner. That’s why your plan is an essential part of moving forward. Please read through it again once (or a few times) and follow it carefully.
Document all your damage before the cleanup process begins. Having pictures from before the cleanup process begins allows the insurer of your property damage. Invest some time in building a complete inventory of all your lost or damaged items. If you can, add the value of each item to your inventory. You can pass all this information along to your insurer.
Support your valuable employees. You rely on your employees, and they rely on your business. You can take steps to do what you can for them during this difficult time. You can look to resources like the Small Business Administration (SBA) for help.
Don’t forget to update the members of your community. Communicating with your suppliers, your employees, your customers and your community. will put you in a better position when it’s time to open again. Social media and your email marketing list can make this easier.
