iso 9001 for small businesses

ISO 9001 isn't just for big organisations with lots of different departments. Small businesses can benefit from implementing a quality management system (QMS) and achieving ISO 9001 certification for small businesses.

If you run a small business (i.e. a business with fewer than 50 employees and a turnover under £10 million) then obtaining an ISO certification may seem like a daunting and expensive process. However, this is not always the case! Depending on your current systems, implementing a quality management system with an ISO 9001 certification can actually be rather inexpensive for small businesses and requires very little documentation and maintenance.

 

Benefits of ISO 9001 for Small Businesses

An ISO 9001 certification can benefit you and your small business in a number of ways. The key benefits of ISO 9001 for small businesses are:

  • Better Work Efficiency

A quality management system that meets ISO certification standards will provide your staff with a common, logical system that will in turn help your business to achieve continuous improvement and reduce waste.

Once your QMS has been implemented, it will help to ensure that all of your work has the maximum possible impact as well as increasing your business' efficiency, productivity and cost savings.

  • Happier Customers

More effective operations means happier customers! Implementing and adhering to an ISO 9001-compliant QMS will help your small business to deliver a better service to the people who keep your business running.

Plus, the ISO 9001 certification is recognised worldwide. This ISO certification builds trust in your company for any potential customers, by confirming that you have put in maximum effort to enhance your systems and meet your existing customers’ needs.

  • Opening New Doors

By using a QMS to review and improve your business’ systems, you will be able to ensure a high level of effectiveness and customer satisfaction. This in turn will provide opportunities for orders and increased profitability.

After all, many businesses only work with ISO 9001 certified suppliers, so depending on what sector you're in, achieving this certification can enable you to take on a whole host of new clients. Essentially, an ISO 9001 certification for small businesses can be a tool for expansion and growth.

Monthly planner

When you get ISO certified through ISO Accelerator, you must renew your certification once a year in order to maintain it. As of August 2020, the recertification fees start at £195 per year (although discounts are available if you're renewing two or more standards simultaneously).

We're pleased to announce that you can now spread the cost of your renewal over a 12-month period, splitting it into a series of small monthly payments instead of paying the whole sum in one go.
