Achieving ISO 9001 certification can be a challenging undertaking, and given the costs and other requirements associated with getting certified, some business owners do find themselves asking: is ISO certification really worth it?
Obviously, the answer to that question ultimately depends on the exact nature of your organisation (what you do, how many people you employ, what sort of customers you serve, and so on). However, in the vast majority of circumstances, ISO 9001 certification is very worthwhile.
Here are some of the benefits that certified companies enjoy:
- Increased customer confidence. Achieving ISO 9001 accreditation demonstrates your commitment to quality and to outstanding customer service. Potential clients will take this into account, and in the end, it may well be the thing that drives them to choose you over one of your competitors.
- New opportunities. ISO 9001 is a requirement for many organisations, and you will need to hold ISO certification if you wish to win work from any of these businesses. Getting certified will open new doors for your company and allow you to take on contracts that would otherwise have gone to somebody else.
- Better, more efficient processes. In order to achieve ISO 9001 certification, you will need to plan and implement an effective QMS (Quality Management System) within your organisation. No matter how large or small your company is, a good QMS will reduce wastage and improve every part of your operation, enabling you to work better as a business and deliver a higher-quality service.
If you're thinking of applying for ISO 9001 certification, remember that ISO Accelerator is the quickest, easiest, most cost-effective way to do it. Our fast-track ISO certification service eliminates many of the costs and delays that come with getting accredited - click here to learn more.

If you want to achieve ISO 9001 certification, you will first need to plan and implement a strong quality management system within your organisation.
A quality management system (QMS) is simply a set of processes and procedures that are designed to improve customer satisfaction. A strong QMS will make your customers happier while also serving to drive continuous improvement of your operations by reducing wastage and streamlining everybody's efforts so that all workers are striving towards the same goal.
Where does ISO certification come into this?
ISO 9001 is the international standard for quality management systems. When planning a QMS, the goal should be to create a system that complies with ISO 9001 requirements and will qualify for ISO 9001 certification once in place.

When company owners consider whether or not to get ISO certified, the one factor that most frequently affects their decision is time. A lot of people choose not to bother with ISO 9001 certification simply because they fear that it will take too long - time is money, after all.
But the ISO certification process doesn't necessarily have to take all that long at all. Yes, it can involve a lot of time-consuming consultations and visits to your premises, but it's actually possible to skip all of that and get your company certified in as little as 7 days.
The fastest route to ISO certification
Here at ISO Accelerator, we specialise in getting small- to medium-sized businesses certified within the shortest possible timeframe. Here's how our service works:

- We will work with you remotely, helping you to develop a QMS (Quality Management System) that meets ISO 9001 requirements.
- Next, you will need to implement the QMS within your organisation, ensuring that its requirements are met.
