New Forest Business Continuity & Resilience Workshops
Unexpected challenges are part of running a business, but with the right preparation they don't have to become a crisis.
In partnership with New Forest District Council, IncuHive is offering free Business Continuity & Resilience Workshops to help small businesses prepare for disruption, protect operations and recover more quickly when things go wrong.
These practical, hands-on workshops will provide straightforward advice and tools to help your business respond to challenges such as power outages, flooding, extreme weather, fire and other emergencies. You'll leave with practical actions you can put in place immediately to strengthen your resilience.
The sessions will be delivered by experienced business advisers.
Participants will also receive a follow-up one-to-one virtual support session, providing an opportunity to discuss specific business challenges and develop tailored solutions.
A limited number of fully funded places are available (usually £99 per business). Places are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis and are open to businesses based within the New Forest District Council area. Apply today to secure your place.
