A companion to the Risk Management Toolkit and the Risk Management Templates Pack. It teaches a proportionate risk process for small and mid-sized businesses: setting risk appetite, identifying risks across the categories that matter, scoring them consistently, choosing treatments, building a register that stays current, planning for incidents and continuity, and reporting to owners or a board. Practical guidance only; insurance, legal, and regulatory questions belong with qualified advisors.
