Did you know that 63% of businesses with the ISO 9001 certificate qualified or won new business according to the British Assessment Bureau? ISO 9001 is a great way to help your business stand out from the competition.
It is a Quality Management System (QMS) that is the International Standard for Quality Management Systems and one of the most popular management tools across the world.
The system aims to simplify the processes in your business, reduce errors and improve internal communications. But how much does this certification cost? That’s what we’ll be exploring in this blog!
How Can You Become ISO 9001 Certified?
To receive your certification for ISO 9001, you will need to apply through an ISO certification body. The most common certification body for ISO 9001 is the British Assessment Bureau. The reason for this is that the British Assessment Bureau offers UKAS-Accredited ISO certificates.
As the only government-backed body for ISO certification, it is important that your ISO 9001 is UKAS accredited. ISO doesn’t reward businesses with their certifications; however, they enrol local bodies to complete the necessary inspections to award their certificates.
If you find yourself limited with time or are unsure about what’s required to complete this procedure, we at BeaconBMS can help complete the process on your behalf.
ISO 9001 Cost
The ISO 9001 certification cost varies depending on the size of your business and the industry you work in, however, the average cost of the ISO 9001 certification is between £3,000 and £6,000. Some of the factors that affect the price of ISO 9001 are:
- Your business's annual turnover
- The amount of business locations you have
- The number of employees that work at your business
- Existing quality system
- Accreditation complexity
- Geographical location

It’s hard for us to give you a fixed price for this certification because it varies for all businesses. So, to find out the cost of ISO 9001 for your business, don’t hesitate to contact us!
