Business

Business continuity check

Whether a business you own or run would keep operating through your sudden absence, planned or otherwise.

For anyone with a stake in a business, personal continuity and business continuity are the same problem seen from two sides. This checks the operational side: whether the business would keep running, keep paying people, and keep its access to its own systems.

Section 1 of 3 · 30% of the score

Corporate records

Are the incorporation documents and shareholding recorded?

Who owns what, on paper, including any options or agreements over shares.

Are shareholder or partnership agreements recorded and current?

These usually say what happens on a death or an exit. Read yours.

Are board records and statutory filings up to date?

Gaps here stall everything that needs a signature.

Section 2 of 3 · 45% of the score

Operational access

Could someone else access banking and payroll?

Payroll is the first thing that fails and the loudest.

Are domains, hosting and cloud accounts held in the company's name, not a personal one?

A domain registered to a founder personally can take down the business's email.

Could someone else reach the source code, infrastructure and admin accounts?

Including whatever holds the second factor.

Is there a named person expected to step in, and do they know?

An unwitting successor is not a successor.

Section 3 of 3 · 25% of the score

Obligations that continue

Are customer and vendor commitments recorded somewhere other than your head?

Contracts, renewal dates, notice periods.

Are licences, registrations and insurance recorded with their renewal dates?

The ones that lapse silently and are expensive to restore.

Nothing answered yet. Your score appears once every question has an answer — a part-finished score would measure the questions you skipped.

How this score is worked out

Three sections: corporate and legal records, operational access, and obligations that continue regardless. Operational access carries the most weight because it is the part that fails within days rather than months.

Every question is yes/no and carries a weight of 1 to 3. A section scores the weight you answered “yes” to as a percentage of its total weight. The overall score combines the section percentages by the section weights shown on each heading, which always total 100, then rounds. Anything you have not answered counts as “no”, so a half-finished assessment always scores lower than the same situation fully answered — the score is never flattered by stopping early.

The score reflects only the answers you gave. It cannot see your documents, your accounts or the rules where you live, so treat it as a prompt for what to check next, not a verdict.

This is a self-assessment, not advice. It scores the answers you gave against a checklist we wrote — it does not see your documents, your accounts or your jurisdiction, and it is not legal, tax or financial advice. What is required varies by country. Treat the score as a prompt for what to look at next, and speak to a qualified professional about your own situation.
