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.

Related: What Is ISO 9001?

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.

ISO Accelerator can help you to get certified quickly. Our remote ISO 9001 certification service is delivered entirely online, which means no time-consuming consultation sessions and no need for us to visit your premises. This a great way for small businesses to get ISO certified.

Launched in 2018, the DVSA earned recognition scheme offers businesses a way to demonstrate that they are meeting driver and vehicle standards. Those who hold earned recognition status are less likely to be stopped for inspections, plus it makes the recognised organisation stand out from the competition.

Earned recognition status is bestowed by DVSA authorised audit providers. If you want to become an authorised audit provider, you will need to have:

• A high level of professionalism
• Specialist knowledge of transport and operator licensing
• Certain qualifications, as outlined in the Code of Practice
• A quality management system in place within 12 months of authorisation

We at ISO Accelerator can help you with that final point. If you do not currently have a quality management system (QMS) in place, we can provide a QMS and help you to achieve ISO 9001 certification quickly. This will make it easy for you to demonstrate that you have met this requirement and are ready to become a DVSA authorised audit provider

Contact ISO Accelerator today to find out how we can help you with your quality management system. The whole process takes place online, so there's no need for time-consuming site visits or face-to-face consultation sessions.
