Course Description

What would you do if a fire, flood, equipment malfunction or pandemic occurred at your office? If you had 15 minutes to evacuate, an infestation, or your office that was uninhabitable for one of a thousand different reasons what would you take and where would you go? How would you continue servicing your clients? Could you bounce back or would your business lose the fight?

Think it can’t happen to you? Statistics show that 94% of small business owners believe a disaster could seriously disrupt their business within the next two years. Are you prepared?

Your clients depend on you to maintain operational in any situation; Agility Recovery understands this. In 25 years, they have responded to thousands of disasters without fail. Agility wants to help you prepare for success, too. This is your business we’re talking about after all.

This presentation will be followed up by a brief introduction of Agility’s solution as well as the partnership that has been created with the AAA to benefit our membership base.
