ISO 9001 coaching and internal audits for small businesses
Build a quality management system that passes UKAS certification, without the bloat.
Fixed fees. No day rates. No 200-page quality manuals.
Our approach: Minimal Viable Compliance.
We help small businesses create the leanest system that genuinely satisfies the standard, passes an accredited certification audit, and is light enough that you will actually keep it running afterwards. You can build maturity later, but let’s get you certified first.
Your Quality Management System should be tailored to your business.

Why Iseo Blue
We specialise in helping small businesses
They can move faster and implement change quicker. We like that.
Minimal Viable Compliance
We build and audit lean systems. If a document doesn’t earn its keep, it goes.
Genuinely independent
Your certification auditor will ask about internal audit independence; you’ll have a good answer.
Fixed fees, always
You know the cost before we start. No day rates, no scope creep.
Both standards, one roof
ISO 27001 and ISO 9001, coached or audited, separately or together.
We don’t make ourselves ‘sticky’.
We show you how to build, implement and support your own QMS.

Frequently asked questions
We’re a very small company. Can we even get ISO 9001 certified?
Yes. There is no minimum size; sole traders and one-person companies certify regularly. The standard scales to your organisation, and so does our approach.
Do you audit on-site?
Our standard audits are remote, which keeps the fixed fee low and works well for the vast majority of SMEs. If your processes genuinely require on-site observation, ask us on the discovery call. We are based in Berkshire with good access to Surrey, Hampshire and London.
We already have a consultant-built system nobody uses. Can you help?
This is a common situation that we see. Usually the answer is to strip it back rather than add to it. The coaching programme handles both rescues and new builds.
How quickly can you audit us?
Typically, we can start within days, with the report delivered two to three weeks later. If you have a certification or surveillance audit booked, tell us the date, and we’ll work back from it.
What’s the difference between your internal audit and the certification audit?
The certification (or surveillance) audit is done by your UKAS-accredited certification body and results in your certificate. The internal audit is a requirement of the standard itself, and it’s your dress rehearsal: same rigour, but findings you can fix quietly before they become nonconformities on the record.
Do you offer a cheaper, lighter audit?
No. A partial audit gives you a partial answer, and “partially ready for certification” isn’t useful to anyone. One audit, one fixed fee, one clear verdict.
