Small Business Scheme certification

If you are looking for certification to the ISO 9001 quality, ISO 14001 environmental or OHSAS 18001 health and safety management system standards and employ 30 people or less from one site, you could benefit from our Small Business Scheme. Also available on the Small Business Scheme is certification through the LRQA PRiSM Scheme. PRiSM allows you to build and combine additional certified management systems with your existing LRQA ISO 9001 certified management system at your own pace using available resource.

As an LRQA Small Business Scheme client, you will benefit from our:

• Clear pricing policy which means no hidden extras or annual management fees. Direct debit allows you to pay over 36 interest free, monthly instalments.
• Experienced teams which mean we only send assessors who are trained to understand the needs of our SME’s and have experience of your sector. In between visits, a freephone call to our technical helpdesk can answer any technical query you may have.
• Support package including free access to self-assessment checklists, regular e-newsletters, guidance material and free invites to our annual client events to ensure you are kept up to speed with the latest in management systems.

And if you’re in the early stages of setting up your systems we can guide you in the right direction. While we cannot offer consultancy, we can provide a list of consultants with experience of your industry that can help you implement your management system. We also have a wide range of public and in-company training courses that can guide you in the right direction. For advice from our technical experts on steps to take to implement a system we suggest you access our implementation section for free support and advice on approaches you could take.

If you’re already with a UKAS-accredited certification body and looking at making the switch to us, we can transfer your business quickly, easily and at no extra cost.
