Netcapital Securities Inc.’s Business Continuity Plan

Netcapital Securities Inc. has developed a Business Continuity Plan on how we will respond to events that significantly disrupt our business. Since the timing and impact of disasters and disruptions is unpredictable, we will be flexible in responding to actual events as they occur. With that in mind, we are providing you with this information on our business continuity plan.

Contacting Us

If after a significant business disruption you cannot contact us as you usually do at 781-925-1700 or help@netcapital.com, you should call our alternative number at 781-561-8770 or go to our website at https://netcapital.com.

Our Business Continuity Plan

We plan to quickly recover and resume business operations after a significant business disruption and respond by safeguarding our staff and property, making a financial and operational assessment, protecting the Firm’s books and records, and allowing our customers to transact business. In short, our business continuity plan is designed to permit our Firm to resume operations as quickly as possible, given the scope and severity of the significant business disruption.

Our business continuity plan addresses: data backup and recovery; all mission critical systems; financial and operational assessments; alternate communications with customers, staff, and regulators; alternate physical location of staff; critical supplier, contractor, bank, and counter-party impact; regulatory reporting; and assuring our customers prompt access to their funds and securities if we are unable to continue our business.

Varying Disruptions

Significant business disruptions can vary in their scope, such as only our Firm’s office, the city where we are located, or the whole region. Within each of these areas, the severity of the disruption can also vary from minimal to severe. In the event of a significant business disruption, we have plans in place to move to a back-up location or remote locations as necessary. In either situation, we plan to continue business, transfer operations to our constituent Firm(s) if necessary, and notify you through our website https://netcapital.com or our customer emergency number, 781-925-1700. If the significant business disruption is so severe that it prevents us from remaining in business, we will assure our customers’ prompt access to their funds and securities.
