Supply chain risk is a known manageable business risk. Your Capacity Statement helps demonstrate you're appropriately managing that risk.

When you're dealing with larger companies or engaging with Government contracts, supply chain risk is at the front of their considerations.

Nobody wants to commit long-term funds and contracts to a business that cannot demonstrate they’ve taken a commercial approach to the predictable risks and requirements of a good business.

A Capacity Statement is a recognised term for a formal document that communicates your business's capacity to deliver on your offering and provide greater comfort as you have considered and have the capacity to manage the natural business interruptions.

These can include contingency plans to mitigate against the loss of key people and expertise and loss of business partners and/or owners due to death or disability.
