If you disappeared tonight, would your business survive in the morning?
Most business owners are one illness, one accident, one unexpected absence away from chaos.
This workshop changes that.
Business Blind Spots · 2 hours · £50
📍 In person and online · Hertfordshire
50% of UK small businesses have no business continuity plan.
43% of businesses without a plan never reopen after a serious disruption.
74% of UK businesses have no employees other than the owner - meaning if you can't work, nothing works.
And as a sole trader, your income may stop completely the moment you can't work. Unlike employees, there's usually no sick pay, no cover, no backup.
Here's what you'll cover in 2 practical, eye-opening hours
Where your business would grind to a halt if you disappeared tomorrow - most owners are shocked by how many single points of failure they have.
Your critical information audit - clients, passwords, systems, contracts, cashflow - and who could access what if you couldn't.
Basic business continuity planning for sole traders and micro businesses - simple, practical, no jargon.
Digital legacy for your business - websites, domains, platforms, subscriptions and intellectual property.
How AI can transform your planning - and how to start using it before you leave the room.
Here's what you'll leave with
✔️ The Your Final Matters Business Continuity Organiser - a structured board template covering every critical area of your business
✔️ 25 Essential AI Prompts for business planning - developed from 35 years of business experience across property, software and healthcare
✔️ 10 Advanced AI Prompts for deeper business continuity planning
✔️ A clear 30-day action plan
✔️ You start the work IN the workshop - you leave with things already done, not just a to-do list
The Business Continuity Organiser - your biggest takeaway
Most workshops send you home with homework. This one means you arrive with nothing sorted and you leave with things already ticked off.
The Your Final Matters Business Continuity Organiser is a pre-built board template covering every critical area of your business - systems, clients, passwords, processes, digital assets and next steps. You copy it, make it your own, and work through it at your own pace.
But here's what makes this different - you don't just receive the prompts. You use them live in the workshop, with me guiding you through the first ones. By the time you leave, you've already started.
Who it's for
- Sole traders and micro business owners who know their business relies too heavily on them.
- Directors who hold most of the critical knowledge in their heads and nowhere else.
- Small business owners who've never stopped to ask: what would actually happen if I couldn't work tomorrow?
- Anyone who's watched a family struggle to untangle a business after a death or illness - and doesn't want to leave the same mess behind.
- Anyone who wants to use AI to get their business properly organised - fast.
"This workshop was a detailed, step-by-step guide to preparing your final matters so that when your time comes, you leave clarity, not chaos." - Sim Malin
Hello! I'm Caro Syson
I'm the founder of Your Final Matters and the Amazon bestselling author of 'Boss Your New Small Business'. I've spent 35 years across property, software, finance and healthcare - building businesses, making mistakes, and learning what happens when critical knowledge lives only in one person's head.
I created this workshop because I've seen first-hand what happens to a business - and a family - when there's no plan. These prompts and this organiser aren't generic templates. They're built from 35 years of hard-won business experience.
