Your business may be small, but thanks to the Open For Business® tool that is available to all members of the CAL Insurance & Associates community, you can now do the kinds of disaster recovery planning normally done by large firms. To access Open For Business®, click on one of the links on the right and get started now.
Open For Business® is a Word-based tool, which helps small businesses create disaster recovery plans and evaluate and mitigate risks. Whether your business experiences a power outage, fire, or earthquake, Open For Business® will help you reduce your losses and get back to business as soon as possible.
In addition, all of our insurance carriers recognize disaster planning as a superior management practice. After completing the disaster plan with Open For Business® you will want to share it with your CAL broker so they can help negotiate your renewal on your behalf. Find out how disaster planning can save you money by contacting us.
Ease-of-use is a key feature of Open For Business®. There is no need for a person to have a background in recovery planning or disaster risk assessment. The tool will lead you through the planning process and will take you through pertinent questions. Whether you own or rent your property, or if your business has multiple locations, Open For Business® will accommodate your needs.
