    The Truth About ISO Consultants, Cost or Secret Weapon?

    The thing is, while ISO is sold as “simple compliance”, the reality is that you either build a system that fits your business or you fail loudly in an audit. In ISO for Growth, Rino from Synergos Consultancy explains the exact steps to follow, including turning findings into action to build an ISO management system people will actually use. While most resources stop at UKAS guidelines, this takes it to implementation, templates that ruin culture, the benefit of expert support to save time and stress, and what really happens in the Stage 2 closing meeting when you are told you have been recommended for certification. No fluff. Just the ISO playbook.

    What Auditors Look For in ISO Audits

    Of course, everyone thinks ISO is just a bunch of paperwork, but that’s not the case here. Tom Wheat, from PJR, explains exactly what certification means in terms of small businesses, exactly what auditors are looking for in Stage 1 and Stage 2, and just why so many first audits go so terribly wrong for totally preventable reasons. As we’re all looking to grow our businesses, we discuss just how ISO can help you go from “just getting by” to bidding on bigger contracts across the country, as well as just how improvement can sometimes be simple, easy changes that add up. Given the state of the economy, we also discuss resiliency, risk, and just how an ISO framework can help you catch problems in the supply chain or data security before they become costly messes, and finally, where certification is going in terms of ethics and sustainability.

    Don’t overcomplicate your ISO

    While ISO gets a reputation for paperwork, this episode keeps it simple. We talk about how small teams can build an ISO-ready system that actually helps the business run, without drowning in admin. Since most companies already do a lot of what ISO asks for, we focus on mapping the standard to what you already have, then tightening up the gaps. We also cover how to use everyday tools like SharePoint, Jira or Trello instead of expensive compliance platforms and what “evidence” really looks like when an auditor turns up. Quick, practical and aimed at growth, not box-ticking.

    Which ISO Standard Is Right for Me?

    Choosing an ISO standard can feel like a big, risky commitment, especially as a small business. In this episode, we cut through the noise and help you decide where to start based on what you do, what you’ve been asked for,and what you actually want to achieve. We talk investment, time, team buy-in, why ISO 9001 sits at the heart of so many management systems and why businesses often run multiple standards separately (when they don’t need to). Plus, a question that reveals how strong your systems really are: could your business survive if you stepped away for 3-4 weeks? If you want repeatable results, not a one-off win, this is your starting point.

    Why dismissing ISOs is harming the growth of small businesses

    ISO. Just hearing the word can make small business owners sigh, roll their eyes, or switch off completely. But is it really as complicated, expensive and “only for big companies” as it sounds? In this episode (15 January 2026), we unpack the biggest misconceptions holding SMEs back, and how going without a formal ISO can quietly cap your growth. We also explore how ISO can strengthen trust, unlock supply chain opportunities, and help smaller businesses compete with larger players — without it taking over your day-to-day operations. Plus, we look beyond the business owner and talk about what ISO can do for your team, culture and continuous improvement long-term. #SmallBusiness #ISO #BusinessGrowth
