The COVID-19 pandemic is providing business owners with a unique opportunity that they wouldn’t have had in their normal operating situation.

Business continuity plan
Now is a good time to look at how you address challenges in your business strategically, so you've got a plan to navigate any disruption. To ensure the long-term sustainability of your business, you should have a plan to ensure you can still conduct business during such times. Xero have some guides and templates here.
