Five layers of your business. We document every one.
You answer one written questionnaire — about 1–2 hours, by email, at your own pace. We turn it into a living document your business can actually run on.
Processes and prices
How work actually gets done, step by step: what you sell, what it costs, your terms, your checklists. The stack of daily decisions, written down.
Access map
Which accounts run your business, who holds them, how access is recovered. We map where everything lives — we never ask for, receive or store your passwords.
Suppliers and contacts
Who you buy from, who you call when something breaks, your accountant, your lawyer — with terms and current contacts, verified and dated.
Client answers
Answers to the questions clients ask again and again, in your own words — so a stand-in, a temp or your twin answers the way you would.
Handover package
A single document that transfers the business: what a family member, a buyer or a manager needs to keep it running. Updated quarterly under the care plan.
Fixed prices. The twin is yours.
One setup fee builds it. The care plan keeps it alive.

How it works
Four steps, all by email. Your only job is one written questionnaire.
You write what you know
A written questionnaire — processes, suppliers, contacts, answers. About 1–2 hours, by email, at your own pace. No passwords, ever.
We build the twin
We structure, verify and date everything into a clean document: the five layers of your business in one place.
You verify and approve
A walkthrough by email: you correct, we fix. Nothing is final until you approve every page.
It stays alive
Business changes; the twin changes with it under the care plan. The handover package is always ready.
Build your ContinuityTwin
Fill this in and we reply by email within one business day with payment details, the questionnaire and your delivery date. Prefer to pay now? Start the $99 setup.
Common questions
Straight answers, before you spend a dollar.
Do you store my passwords?
No. The twin maps where access lives and how it is recovered — which accounts, who holds them, the recovery path — but your passwords stay in your own password manager. We never ask for, receive or store credentials.
Who sees my business twin?
Only you, and people you explicitly name. The twin is confidential documentation, not a public listing. Nothing is shared without your written instruction.
How long does setup take?
5–7 business days after you return the written questionnaire. The only time we need from you is that questionnaire — about 1–2 hours, answered by email at your own pace.
Does this help if I sell my business?
Yes — that is one of its main jobs. A business that lives only in the owner's head usually sells for less, or does not sell at all, because a buyer cannot verify what is not written down. The handover package documents what a buyer actually needs: processes, suppliers, client answers and access structure.
How much does it cost?
Setup is $99, one-time: the written questionnaire, the complete twin and your handover package, delivered in 5–7 business days. Continuity Care is $25/month if you want the twin kept current — monthly updates and a quarterly handover refresh, cancel anytime.
Is this insurance, or a legal service?
No. ContinuityTwin is documentation — a written, dated map of how your business runs and how access is recovered. It does not insure anything, does not hold your accounts, and is not legal advice. What it does is put the facts in writing before you need them: for a handover, a valuation, or the worst week of your life.
Built on public continuity guidance
The structure of the twin follows the planning guidance that U.S. public programs publish for small businesses.
Ready.gov — Business Continuity Planning
FEMA's free guidance on building a continuity plan: critical functions, teams and responsibilities, and testing the plan before you need it.
U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation — Readiness for Resiliency
The Foundation's small-business readiness program, including its course on building a business continuity and mitigation plan.
ContinuityTwin is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by FEMA, Ready.gov, or the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation.
