Planning for load shedding as a business risk
Load shedding has become a real business risk for South African SMEs, not just an inconvenience. Lost trading hours, damaged equipment, spoiled stock and staff who cannot work all have a cost. A business continuity plan helps you understand which activities must keep running during an outage and what it will take to protect them.
Start by listing the systems you cannot do without, such as card machines, internet, refrigeration or servers. Then compare backup options like inverters, batteries, solar or generators against what an outage actually costs you. We help clients weigh these investments properly, including the cash flow impact and any tax allowances that may apply to renewable energy assets.
