FAQs
Common questions
How long does ISO 9001 certification take?
Most small and medium businesses are ready for certification in 3–4 months. Larger or multi-site businesses take longer.
Do you issue the certificate?
No. Certificates are issued by an independent, accredited certification body. We build the system, prepare you and support you during their audit.
What does it cost?
A gap audit starts at $1,650. Our Certification Program starts at $3,000 per month and usually runs 3–4 months. The certification body charges its own audit fees.
Can ISO 9001 be combined with ISO 45001 or 14001?
Yes. We often build one integrated system covering quality, safety and environment, which is simpler to run and audit.
Will we have to change how we work?
Only where it adds value. We write the system around what you already do well and fix the gaps.
