BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLAN
Audacity Capital Partners LLC has developed a Business Continuity Plan (“BCP”) on how we will respond to events that significantly disrupt our business. Since the timing and impact of disasters and disruptions are unpredictable, we will have to be flexible in responding to actual events as they occur. We are providing you with this information on our BCP. 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.
Our BCP is designed to permit our firm to resume operations as quickly as possible, given the scope and severity of the significant business disruption, and addresses: data backup 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; regulatory reporting; and assuring our customer’s prompt access to our services through their registered representatives if we are unable to continue our business.
Significant business disruptions can vary in their scope and location, such as within our firm’s only office, the business district where our office is located, the city where we are located, or the whole region. Within each of these areas, the severity of the disruption can also vary from minimal to severe. In a disruption to only our firm or a building housing our firm, we will transfer our operations to a local site when needed and expect to recover and resume business within a 24-hour period. In a disruption affecting our business district, city, or region, we will transfer our operations to a site outside of the affected area and recover and resume business within a 24-hour period. If the significant business disruption is so severe that it prevents us from remaining in business, we will assure our customers’ prompt access to the services provided by their registered representatives.
