ISO 9001 Certification Help for Small Businesses

Four steps. Four months. Done.

With CORE’s platform, training and consultants we were able to succeed in a short time and gain a level of understanding and structure we otherwise would never have been able to accomplish.

Anne Mills on BirdEye

The certification process was easy and painless. Suzanne Weber-Smatko did an excellent job of preparing us for the audits and we were certified with no findings.

-Elizabeth Meighan on BirdEye

C&C International was indeed very pleased with the Core training we’ve recently received. Suzanne Weber-Smartko and Norman Verbeck provided very good support and direction. We are very much satisfied with CORE.

The Core Solutions team was excellent to work with and made the ISO preparation tolerable. I highly recommend the services of the Core Solutions.

Thanks to the CORE team and especially Bruce Newman for a great experience achieving our company’s first ISO certification.

What does it mean to be ISO 9001 Certified?

When your organization is ISO 9001 Certified, you are demonstrating to your customers and in some cases, to the government that your products and services meet ISO 9001 standards.  Currently, the certification process involves implementing the requirements of ISO 9001:2015 and then successfully passing a registrar’s audit.   Sometimes called ISO9000 or ISO 90001, when you achieve ISO 9001 certification, you will receive an actual certificate verifying that your business meets the ISO 9001 requirements.

What’s Required?

ISO 9001 requires a compliant Quality Management System (QMS), proof that it’s working, and an external audit by a third-party registrar. Sound overwhelming? That’s why we’re here to help.

How Much Time?

The average ISO certification takes 4 months, but we’ve seen companies certified in as quickly as 30 days.

What Does It Cost?

It costs between $5,700 and $15,000 to prepare and between $3,000 and $5,000 to certify, depending on company size and how much prep time you choose to take.

Plan

As we help you learn the basics of ISO 9001:2015, your ISO consultant will guide you through preparing your required documentation, quality manual, and documented processes.​

Implement

As you implement ISO 9001, your consultant will work with your team to set goals, conduct management reviews, review results, and drive the actions needed for improvement.​

Review

An ISO 9001 internal audit will be conducted to ensure your preparedness for the registrar audit. Together, we will review process corrections and make sure you have all the necessary documentation for compliance.​

Certify

Finally, Core Business Solutions will help you secure a registrar, or Certification Body, to perform your final external audit. Upon completion, we will help you correct any findings (if applicable). Then you will receive your ISO 9001:2015 certificate!​

  • Customer Focus 

  • Leadership

  • Engagement of People

  • Process Approach

  • Improvement

  • Evidence-Based Decision Making

  • Relationship Management

ISO 9001 Quality Management System

In 2015, the ISO standard was updated to make requirements better suited for small businesses.  The ISO 9001:2015 version is still widely used for global supply chains, government procurement officers, and other market drivers as a supplier management tool.
