for British small business
Yes! We see ourselves as the Certification Body for small business and work hard at being down-to-earth, local and accessible nationally. (More your local, friendly weather presenter than a detached, global newsreader)
We want you to benefit from the best practices summarised in the Standards that we assess your organisation to. We are increasingly represented in each of the UK regions and, even when we’re not, we will ensure that you are always in touch with a real person who speaks your language
Helping you to help your clients
We are a partnership organisation. We have effective relationships with Government Departments, Local Government, Business Links, Chambers of Commerce and other public and private sector bodies and if you represent a training organisation, a consultancy or are able to carry out assessments, we would like to hear from you. Almost every service we offer is delivered by quality assured partners and associates like you
Impartial, professional and reliable
As a UKAS Accredited Certification Body, we do not wish to risk any conflict of interest by offering consultancy. We are concerned to help you to find the help you need. We are therefore happy to refer you to consultants and other support services who are local to you and able to support the special needs of you business
We do offer pre-assessment services and are always on hand to offer training, guidance and encouragement every step of the way
