Many buyers, tenders and export markets ask for ISO or similar certification. The standard you need depends on what you do: quality, environment, safety, information security, food safety and so on.
Apbiz explains which certification fits your goal, builds the documentation and practices the standard asks for, and coordinates with the accredited certification body for the audit.

Frequently asked questions
Who issues the certificate?
An accredited certification body issues it after auditing you. We prepare you and coordinate, and we do not issue it ourselves.
How long does ISO certification take?
It depends on the standard, the size of your business and how much is already in place. Small businesses can be ready relatively quickly. We give a plan after the gap check.
Is the certificate valid forever?
No. Certificates are valid for a fixed period and are checked in regular surveillance audits. We support you through those.
Which ISO standard should I choose?
It depends on your customers. Quality (9001) is the most common, while IT clients usually ask for 27001 and food businesses for 22000 or HACCP. We help you decide.
Is it only paperwork?
No. An auditor checks that you actually follow the system. We build something your team can run day to day.
