Typical Costs

Below is a few examples of the typical cost of certification

Company A
Growing Startup

9 Employees | 1 Site | ISO 9001

For a small business like this, initial ISO 9001 certification with design control should be budgeted around £2,500 – £3,200. This reflects the additional complexity of design control processes. Annual surveillance audits across the three-year certification cycle typically cost £1,000 – £1,500 per year, ensuring ongoing compliance and continuous improvement.

Company B
Mid-Market Scale

110 Employees | 2 Sites | 2 Standards

Multi-site, multi-standard certification is more complex. Budget approximately £4,500 – £6,500 for initial certification across ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. However, integrating both standards simultaneously can reduce total audit time by up to 15-20%, lowering overall costs. Annual surveillance audits across the three-year cycle typically cost £2,000 – £3,000 per year for both standards combined.

Company C
Enterprise Operations

490 Employees | 6 Sites | 3 Standards

Large-scale, multi-site certification requires substantial audit scope. Initial certification across ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 should be budgeted at £8,500 – £12,500+, reflecting the complexity of six sites and 490 employees. Integrated auditing can reduce costs by up to 20%. Annual surveillance audits across the three-year cycle typically cost £3,000 – £4,500 per year for all three standards combined.
