SME guide to surviving and recovering from unexpected, high-impact disruptions

London, 02 April 2026. BlackSwanAdvisory (BSA), a business resilience and continuity consultancy, is to launch a survival guide for SMEs, helping companies prepare for, survive and recover from unexpected, high-impact disruptions.

Entitled The BSA Continuity Briefing, it will offer business owners and employees advice as to how to cope with catastrophic scenarios such as a shooting, kidnapping and denial of entry to premises.

A4 in size, the eBook formatted guide will have over 100 pages of advice, templates and protocols, and is designed to be an authoritative and informative.

BSA co-founders Jack Felix, a former member of the UK Special Forces, and Neil Martin, a B2B comms specialist, aim to reduce the disruption and anxiety caused by unforeseen events.

Felix said: “I’m always amazed how school children know what to do in the event of an attack, but most workers have no idea what to do should the same thing happen at their workplace.

“We want to change this and we are working on the guide to give people a useful framework, from mindset to what steps you can take to try to keep yourself safe.”

Martin added: “We live in increasingly dangerous times and the threat levels for many what if situations, unthinkable just a short time ago, are now very pressing. We do face a clear and present danger, across all areas of life, especially in the workplace.”

Using the BSA guide’s template and updates allows for greater speed of response, reduced decision fatigue, continuity of operations and stakeholder confidence.
