1 – 5 people - One standard

What's different at this size:

This option is for early teams who need a certificate to land their first enterprise or public-sector contract.

Founders wear every hat, so roles and responsibilities stay deliberately simple
Few processes, suppliers and systems to bring into scope
Evidence comes straight from the tools you already run the business on
A small team means a small audit sample and quick preparation

Typical timeline: 4 to 12 weeks

6 – 25 people - One standard

From £8,000 + VAT

What's different at this size:

For funded startups whose customers are starting to send security and quality questionnaires.

Roles specialise, so responsibilities need defining and handing over
New hires bring onboarding, access and training into scope
More suppliers and SaaS tools to assess and control
Customer questionnaires arrive and need consistent answers

Typical timeline: 10 to 14 weeks

26 – 75 people - One standard

From £13,000 + VAT

What's different at this size:

For scale-ups who are growing rapidly, we know what worked yesterday might not work today.

Separate departments each own a part of the system
Fast hiring and turnover need controls that don't rely on memory
More processes, data flows and systems to map and audit
Leadership needs metrics to see compliance at a glance

Typical timeline: 12 to 20 weeks

76 – 150 people - Multiple standards

From £25,000 + VAT

What's different at this size:

For established companies that need to achieve new standards or integrate existing ones

Multiple sites, entities or countries often in scope
Several standards run as one integrated system
Larger audit samples across more people and departments
Formal governance and board-level reporting

Typical timeline: 12 to 26 weeks

What moves the price

Team size sets the bracket. Within it, a handful of things shape your fixed quote:

How many standards you're certifying to, and in what order
Number of sites, legal entities or countries in scope
How much documentation and process you already have
Deadlines, such as a tender or customer contract date

What's not included

An independent, UKAS-accredited certification body issues your certificate.

You contract and pay their audit fees directly, so you know exactly what you're paying. We'll recommend certification bodies suited to your sector and size, and help you compare their quotes.
