Accounts and payment providers can restrict, review or pause a business for reasons that are not always within your control. The decision is how much of the business should survive a pause, and what you can arrange in advance at a proportionate cost.
A pause may be routine, a review, or an error; you cannot assume which. A continuity plan does not argue the cause. It lists which payments must still happen, which can wait, and how each would be made.
Account opening is a separate service; this assessment designs the set-up and does not open accounts or promise any provider decision. Nothing here ensures an account stays open.
A pause at either would stall revenue or payouts. Priority: a tested alternative route for the critical payments.
The risk is concentrated in one receiving account. Priority: a second route for receipts and a documented customer notice.
One restriction could reach several entities. Priority: separation and clear roles.
It cannot control a provider's decision.
Good records support a review but do not substitute for meeting a provider's requirements.
Maintaining a fallback has an ongoing cost, which the plan states.
Payroll, key suppliers, taxes, platform fees, customer refunds.
What can wait a week, what cannot wait a day.
For each critical payment, a different way to make it.
Who holds credentials, who can authorise, what happens if that person is away.
Documentation that a provider may ask for during a review.
A small test of the fallback, so it is not first used in an emergency.

No. It prepares the business to keep operating during an interruption.
No. Dealing with a provider or regulator is outside this assessment.
It helps if it is active and can carry the critical payments. The plan tests that assumption.
