SUMMARY OF ENGLAND SECURITIES’ BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLANNING
England Securities has developed a Business Continuity Plan setting forth how we will respond to events that significantly disrupt our business. Since the timing and impact of disasters and disruptions is unpredictable, we will have to be flexible in responding to actual events as they occur. With that in mind, we are providing you with this information about our business continuity plan.
Contacting Us: If, after a significant business disruption, you cannot contact us as you usually do, you should visit our web site at www.englandco.com for alternative contact information.
Our Business Continuity Plan: We plan to quickly recover and resume business operations after a significant business disruption and respond by safeguarding our employees and property, making a financial and operational assessment, protecting the firm’s books and records, and allowing our customers to transact business. In short, our business continuity plan is designed to permit our firm to resume operations as quickly as possible, given the scope and severity of the significant business disruption. Our business continuity plan addresses: data back-up and recovery; all mission critical systems; financial and operational assessments; alternative communications with customers, employees, and regulators; alternate physical location of employees; critical supplier, contractor, bank and counter-party impact; and regulatory reporting. England Securities’ Business Continuity Plan is reviewed periodically and subject to change without notice. A written copy of the summary of the plan is available to customers upon request.
