What the plan covers
A continuity plan identifies your critical functions, the threats to them, and how you would keep going — backup premises, remote working, alternative suppliers, and communication with customers and staff. It is rehearsed, not just filed.
Why it matters
Disruption does not pause loan repayments. A tested plan, alongside interruption insurance and a cash buffer, keeps you servicing debt and signals a resilient, well-governed business.
What it means for you
Credicorp lends to your company, not to you personally, and takes no personal guarantee. See business loans or apply online.
Frequently asked questions
Is a continuity plan only for big companies?
No. A small company is often more exposed to a single disruption, so a simple, tested plan is arguably more valuable, not less.
Does it help me borrow?
Indirectly. It signals resilience and good governance and protects the cash flow that underpins repayments, which underwriters value.
