# Business Continuity Plan > A Business Continuity Plan outlines how your organisation will respond to disruptions step by step, defining key roles, processes, and recovery actions tailored to your critical functions and real-world risks. *This content is available in full at: https://www.fixinc.io/disciplines/business-continuity-plan* A Business Continuity Plan (BCP) is more than a document. It serves as your playbook for keeping operations running when the unexpected occurs. The plan defines exactly how your organisation will respond to disruptions, specifying key roles, processes, and recovery actions tailored to your critical functions and real-world risks. Fixinc builds BCPs with your teams and delivers them [digitally](https://docs.fixinc.io/technology/online-business-continuity-plans.md). Your plan becomes accessible, agile, and easy to update, whether synced with HR systems or printed as a hard copy fallback. Fixinc does not just write plans. We help teams understand and use them. Our BCPs are built around clarity and ownership, powered by [digital tools](https://docs.fixinc.io/technology/online-business-continuity-plans.md) that integrate with your [Business Impact Analysis](https://docs.fixinc.io/technology/business-impact-analysis.md) and evolve with your business. Advisors maintain the backend, but you can access, update, and engage through our platform. The result is better buy-in, smoother updates, and a plan your team actually trusts. ## Four-Step Delivery Approach Fixinc delivers Business Continuity Plan development through a structured four-step methodology: 1. **Plan**: Agile, first-principles planning ensures a smooth rollout of your refreshed program 2. **Do**: Business Continuity Plan is rolled out smoothly at your organisation 3. **Check**: Your Business Continuity Plan is draft until validated. We address this through testing and validation activities 4. **Act**: Your team and ours will be ready when your Business Continuity Plan is activated in real-life situations ## Engagement Process **Initial Contact** A link will be sent to you via email from our Advisory team. You get to pick a time to chat that is convenient to you, whether over the phone, Teams, Zoom, or in person. **Discovery Call (30-45 minutes)** Tell us what your objectives are. We have a set of questions ready for you. We will share how we do things and give you a chance for any questions you have. **Proposal and Quote** We will get you a proposal within 24 hours detailing the scope of work. One week later, we will discuss it. Ten minutes later you will have a final quote from us to sign. **Decision Timeline** Our clients expect us to be working for them, not chasing proposals. If it is not signed off within five weeks, we will assume it is not the right time. ## Delivery Phases **Review and Health Check** All Business Continuity Plan engagements start with a deep review of what is already in place. We set benchmarks formed from best practice and ISO standards. **Design and Develop** With as much involvement as necessary from your team, we build out the Business Continuity Plan part of your Business Continuity program to the highest quality available. **Validate** Where appropriate, we test and validate your new Business Continuity Plan. This provides tangible evidence of capability and maturity to your stakeholders. **Maintain** The number one setback for organisations who embed resilience is momentum. We build a plan to ensure your Business Continuity Plan runs annually. ## Related Business Continuity Disciplines - [Business Impact Analysis](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/business-impact-analysis.md): Where clarity begins.
