Open for Business® Spanish
The number of Hispanic-owned companies in the U.S. exceeds 1.5 million and statistics show that number is growing. IBHS has translated its original Open for Business® workbook to make sure the businesses owned and operated by this significant population are prepared to withstand the effects of natural or human-caused disasters.
Open for Business® Basic Trainer
We understand that many small business owners or managers live and breathe their jobs. This leaves little time to devote to planning ahead for a disaster that may never strike. It's a risky balance because if a business interruption does occur, those who have a financial stake in the business may never recover.
To help ease the planning process, IBHS has created this FREE online training series to help with time management as you follow along with the Open for Business® toolkit. This series consists of eight sessions, accompanied by assignments. By the end of each session, you will have completed another part of your Open for Business® toolkit, culminating in your completed business continuity plan.
You may register below to receive reminder e-mails, in order to keep you on pace and to track your progress. By breaking up the planning process into manageable steps, we hope to help you achieve resiliency and peace of mind for yourself, your employees and the customers who count on you.
