Planning for the future: A practical checklist to help SMEs prepare for returning to work post lockdown.

We are about to move into the next ‘stage’ of the Coronavirus crisis and this checklist has been prepared from a ‘what do I need to think about and do next’ perspective to help SMEs. 

This checklist is a useful reminder of the key things that need to be in place if businesses are going to get their businesses functioning efficiently and effectively; look after their people and their customers; and move their business forward.  

The checklist has been structured around the four pillars of business organisation:  

• Operations & technology
• Finance & resourcing
• People
• Marketing & communications  

We have also included a section on insurance.
