Emergency continuity support

This support is designed for families facing the sudden unavailability of a business owner due to death, illness, incapacity, or unexpected absence.

The purpose is to restore clarity and control across the business so decisions can be made with a full understanding of what the family is responsible for.

STAGE 1

Emergency Continuity Report

Stage 1 is a structured clarity and control engagement.

It is designed to provide the family and their advisers a complete, decision-ready view of the business as it stands today, based on the information available at the time.

This work recognises that when an owner is suddenly unavailable, families are often required to act before they fully understand the business.

what stage 1 covers

Our approach is deliberately simple

Authority and governance

Who can legally and practically act, where authority sits, and where it breaks in practice.

Financial position

Cash position, near-term runway, key liabilities, revenue concentration, and immediate financial pressure points.

Key contracts, leases, and obligations

Material commercial agreements, leases, financing arrangements, and owner-dependent relationships.

Operations and continuity

How the business actually operates day to day, including key people, dependencies, and informal processes.

Risk identification

Urgent legal, financial, operational, and reputational risks that require attention in the short term.

The emergency continuity report

The outcome of Stage 1 is a written Emergency Continuity Report that:

Provides a consolidated snapshot of the business

Surfaces what requires immediate action versus what can wait

Identifies gaps, risks, and unresolved uncertainties

Sets out a prioritised action plan for the first 14 days and the next 30 to 90 days

This report is not a valuation, audit, tax opinion, or long-term strategy.

It is a stabilisation and control document, prepared to support informed decision making during a period of uncertainty.

Delivery includes a written report and a walkthrough with nominated decision makers.

STAGE 2

Continuity and decision support.

Stage 2 exists to support the family after clarity has been established.

Once the Emergency Continuity Report is delivered, families often need support to work through priorities, implement immediate actions, and maintain visibility while decisions are being considered.

Stage 2 provides structured, short-term support to help the business continue operating while authority, risks, and decisions are managed in a measured way.

What stage 2 may include:

Supporting execution of authority and governance actions

Maintaining financial and operational visibility

Tracking priority actions and emerging risks

Coordinating information flow between family members, operators, and advisers

Framing realistic decision pathways without rushing irreversible outcomes

Stage 2 does not replace legal, tax, or accounting advisers.

It exists to maintain clarity and coordination as decisions unfold.

If the unexpected has already happened, we are here to help you regain clarity first.

Start with a conversation. No pressure, no obligation.
