What if I told you that 78% of businesses with proper continuity planning recover nearly 80% faster after disruption?
At Dawit Insurance, we understand that running a business is already tough enough. You shouldn’t carry the burden of every possible risk on your shoulders. Our role, grounded in Excellence, Stewardship, and Making a Difference, is to help you plan, protect what matters, and give you peace of mind.
Understanding Business Continuity Risk
Business continuity risk refers to big or small events that could stop your operations in their tracks. Think supply chain breakdowns, cyberattacks, business interruption, increased costs of working, or even unexpected disasters.
With the right business insurance, assets insurance, and liability protection, you can turn uncertainty into resilience.
Risk Transfer: Shifting the Burden with Insurance
Risk transfer means letting insurance carry the financial weight when life throws curveballs. Here are solutions that every business leader should consider:
- Business Interruption Insurance: Covers income lost during downtime and keeps payroll, rent, and overheads on track.
- Assets Insurance: Protects physical assets, from buildings to equipment, against fire, theft, or other insured events.
- Directors and Officers Liability Insurance: Shields leadership from personal exposure when tough decisions lead to disputes.
- Employers’ Liability Insurance: Protects you against claims from employees for work-related injury or illness.
- Professional Indemnity Insurance: Essential for businesses that provide advice or services, covering errors, omissions, and negligence claims.
Each of these safeguards is about living up to our promise of relieving burdens, ensuring safety, and solving problems before they escalate.
Setting Up Internal Controls That Work
Insurance alone isn’t enough. You need strong internal controls to keep your house in order. Here’s how:
- Risk Assessment: Regularly evaluate internal and external threats.
- Segregation of Duties: Prevent errors and fraud by sharing responsibilities.
- Regular Audits: Build transparency and trust in financial reporting.
- Access Controls: Secure sensitive systems with strict permissions and multi-factor authentication.
The goal is to create both compliance and a culture of accountability, excellence, and resilience.
Why It All Matters
When disruption strikes, you not only lose money but also risk credibility, trust, and your team’s morale. Combining the right insurance cover with disciplined internal controls gives your business the freedom to focus on growth, not damage control.
At Dawit Insurance, we do more than sell policies. We walk with you hand in hand to ensure that when risk arises, you’re ready to keep moving forward.
