Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Expanding on the authors' experience in business, insurance, tax, legal, and nonprofit issues, The Small Business Disaster Survival Guide presents a thoughtful examination of issues that may face a business owner during and after a natural disaster or economic shock. While the book focuses on the current coronavirus outbreak, most of the information covered in this book applies to any sudden event that causes disruptions to a business's community.This book begins by discussing the need to make a plan or playbook focusing on business and operational issues that may appear in these quickly evolving situations. The book goes on to discuss the significant issues business owners and managers may likely have to confront, like staffing, funding sources, layoffs, insurance, contracts, and bankruptcy. Because of the critical role nonprofits play in times of natural disasters and economic disturbances, we purposefully offer an extended chapter on nonprofits. The Small Business Disaster Survival Guide is appropriate for business owners, managers, gig workers, sole proprietors, and 1099 contractors who need to get a general understanding of these common issues quickly. As such, the book is written in an informative but concentrated format to honor the reader's time, which we understand may not be plentiful at the time of its reading. The outbreak only marks the beginning of the economic struggles to come for many small businesses. Even after companies reopen, firms will likely experience lower revenues and continued losses for months or even years into the future. Therefore this book offers guidance on issues that may arise sometime after the outbreak has subsided. This book covers: -Management and leadership strategies.This book covers leadership, management, communication, and business strategy, focusing on issues related to the quarantine period and during the reopening phase of the business. -Funding sources and loan options.We don't just include the Payroll Protection Program and the Economic Injury Disaster Loan program. We go further into lesser-known government programs and bank credit options providing general analysis about which programs are more appropriate under different circumstances.-Employment issues.This chapter covers a range of employment issues, including layoffs, furloughs, and state-based programs, to help a business keep its employees while reducing work hours. Additionally, this section covers new federally mandated employee benefits, remote working issues, and a discussion on workers compensation insurance.-Insurance Here we provide a comprehensive review of different insurance policies and how they may apply to the current outbreak. This chapter also includes essential advice on submitting a claim and a general outline of current state insurance legislation.-Contract issuesThis chapter provides a general overview of contracts and contract defenses that might be used by the business owner or a customer/supplier. -Bankruptcy and non-bankruptcy restructuringWhile this book is intended to help companies avoid bankruptcy, companies will have clients and vendors who have to file bankruptcy. This section provides a general discussion on the different kinds of bankruptcy and under what circumstances each might be appropriate. The chapter also covers non-bankruptcy debt restructuring strategies and some pitfalls to be aware of.-Nonprofits 30% of all entities in the US are nonprofits. Currently, nonprofits are under immense stress because of the increasing need for their services while having less access to funding sources. This chapter addresses specific issues related to nonprofits and provides strategies to help nonprofits navigate these treacherous waters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the odds that your small business or professional office will survive a major catastrophic event? 60%? 70%? Actually, if you have a Business Continuity Plan, history says you might experience odds like these. Certainly, you have a better than a 50/50 chance. But for small businesses without a workable, up-to-date Plan, the odds are more like 40% complete failure within the year following the event.Why? There are many reasons of course, but at least two of them are avoidable. The first is lack of a plan altogether. Without a plan you run the risk of injury or death . . . and, yes, the added risk of lawsuits for negligence. The truth is that small business executives (and that includes even single-executive professional offices) are busy. They typically don't have the time or confidence that they know enough about security issues to create a plan or even delegate it. We'll come back to how this book simplifies getting a plan done.The second reason businesses fail is because of lack of a workable plan. Even large corporate plans can overlook one key element - the anxiety employees will feel about the well-being of their families and loved ones. In major disasters where communications are disrupted or destroyed and even cell phones can't get through, employees' urge to leave work, find a way to get home, and make sure everyone is OK overshadows the need to stay and help save the business. The good news is that there are inexpensive and proven answers to both of these -- and that's what this book introduces. First, it emphasizes the value of CERT and Workplace CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) training that is offered at little or no cost by FEMA and local governments. The reality is that in a major event, people get injured and die. And the bigger the event, the longer it will take for official fire and rescue teams to get to everyone. This means that where saving lives is first priority, you, your neighbors and fellow employees are the real "first responders." CERT training turns more people into effective first responders who can make a big difference for people AND for the business's survival.Next to actual life-saving efforts, communications are arguably the most important thing for you to focus on in an emergency. Crisis communications are not optional! Emergency Preparedness for Small Business approaches this challenge with a number of recommendations for setting up Communications Teams and managing the all-important contact both within the company and with the outside world. Saving lives and working as a team is a central theme and focus of this and companion books in our Disaster Survival series. The first 3 books cover how to build emergency teams in Apartment, Condominium, Manufactured (Mobile) Home as well as single family home Residential neighborhoods.The business community has a different set of challenges, of course, but the impediments to planning are pretty much the same: intimidation and procrastination, confusion and overwhelm. This book addresses those issues squarely and presents step-by-step solutions. It offers many checklists and suggested procedures. It even includes a "secret weapon" that co-author Joe Krueger learned about while creating plans as a Counterintelligence Agent during the Cold War. The authors say: "In all cases, our goal is simple -- to increase the level of preparedness and readiness to respond by building community-wide emergency response teams. We know of no other book that addresses the need to connect businesses this way with their neighborhoods and the residential neighborhoods of their employees. We have dubbed it a "wholistic" approach to disaster survival."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The challenges facing a solo entrepreneur when calamity strikes are unique in the realm of disaster planning, and the only effective strategy for preventing a business failure after an unexpected major setback is to have a clearly thought-out emergency backup plan. This book guides you to being 100 percent ready for the worst-case scenario. Disasters are sudden, calamitous events that can bring about great loss and failure to a business. Some disasters can be prevented through good judgment and careful planning; others—whether "acts of God" such as flood or fire or a personal health crisis—cannot be. What will happen if the one person responsible for the day-to-day operations of a solo entrepreneurship is suddenly incapacitated and unable to manage the business? In cases of small businesses that do not have a clear backup or disaster recovery plan, the outcome is often the total failure of the business. This book is both a wakeup call and an action plan for small business owners. It will guide readers toward creating a backup system that will enable a business to "run itself" without the immediate presence of its owner—for a week, a month, or even longer. The author presents a tested strategy that has its roots in preparing for natural disasters, and replaces the all-too-common refusal to believe that bad things can and do happen with hard facts and realism. Clearly, solopreneurs cannot afford to take risks of failure when it comes to their businesses—the most important thing in their lives aside from family and health.

Book excerpt: In 2015, a fire struck Lake County, California, in the middle of an extended drought. Hours later, over 10,000 people had evacuated, many with just the clothing on their backs. Hundreds of homes were lost. We don't know how many home businesses were affected by that fire. But we do know that when the home of a home business owner is lost to disaster, their business isn't necessarily destroyed, at least not yet. But steps need to be taken soon to contact clients and suppliers, deal with interrupted income, contact the insurance company about damages, etc. The Home Business Disaster Plan is the first disaster preparedness book written specifically with home based businesses in mind. It provides practical, easy guidance for developing a solid and uncomplicated disaster action plan that home business owners can refer to when disaster strikes.Written by a home business owner who is the former executive director of an American Red Cross chapter, this book is a must-have for anyone who owns a home-based business. You'll learn about nine major disasters and ways to reduce your risk. You will find out which disasters aren't covered by homeowners and business insurance policies, about developing evacuation plans, and about sheltering options once you do leave. You'll work through creating backup plans for your financial, communications, and resource needs, from power and internet outages to prioritizing contacts. Up until now, home business owners were expected to use guidance for small businesses in their disaster planning. Since a small business is any business with 500 employees or less, those guides have to take larger operations into account. Not so with this guide, which focuses on small home-based businesses that share resources with a household. The plan is concise, easy-to-read, and available now.
