Business Continuity

It’s a startling statistic: when a disaster halts business, 25 percent of businesses simply never reopen (according the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics). And the range of disasters is broad: interruptions of your supply chain; weather events like ice and snow storms, floods and hurricanes; cyber-attacks; fires, and the accompanying publicity that can sometimes drive customers away…all the events that keep business owners up at night.

But there is a way to help ensure that your business is prepared for whatever might come your way.

At Hanover Risk Solutions, we know about the losses your industry could face—and we’ve marshalled the resources to help you meet the challenges.
