Who it is for

For the owner who is the only one who can get in

If you are the only person who can get into your business's email, domain, bank, payment account and password manager, the business has a single point of failure, and it is you. This handbook is for the owner of a small business, or a sole trader, in that position. It helps you write down what someone else would need, give them a safe way in, and put the legal authority in place for them to act, so that a lockout, an illness or a death does not leave the business stranded.

It is practical, and it is meant to be worked through, not just read. By the end you have a written plan. Every fact about the law or about a provider was checked against its primary source in November 2026: GOV.UK, legislation.gov.uk, the regulator, or the provider's own help pages, and the guide lists every source.

It gives general, practical information, not legal, tax or financial advice. Where a decision depends on your circumstances or on the law, it says so and points you to a solicitor or an accountant, and one of its worksheets is a brief to take to your solicitor.

To start smaller, our free card What to write down today is the two-page version: the accounts, recovery routes and people to write down this evening, with no email asked for.
