Business continuity encompasses planning and preparation to ensure that an organization can continue to operate in case of serious incidents or disasters and is able to recover to an operational state within a reasonably short period of time.

The ability to fund a buy-sell agreement is a major part of continuity planning and needs to be thoughtfully planned out to insure continuity of the business.  Typical uses of funding vehicles are life and disability insurance policies to provide immediate cash flow to the entity and partners.
