Approvals For Small Businesses?

[gupster]

Hi,

Anyone know what approvals there are for small businesses? Dont have alot of money in the budget for much but was thinking about something the goverment like trust mark or similar (they may be just as expensive though cant find prices).

I personally have lots of experience in fire, lots of manufacture courses, all the bfpsa units ect ect My trading company however does not have iso or anything. Bafe SP201, ssiab and nsi seem quite pricy (the prices i can find on the net) and i think they all require iso. Please correct me if im wrong and they do do some sort of small business approval.

Apoligies if i am wrong been to busy to have a proper look into it and the pricy and iso is stuck in my head someone must of mentioned it to me.

The main reason is just something to have on the letterhead ect to show domestic, & small businesses i have gone through some sort of regristration and im not going to just run away with their money. Been alright upto now and have supplied plenty of refrences to anyone that does want some sort of proof just thought some sort of approval logo will be an extra help.

Incase you need to know im a sole trader no staff just a couple of regular subbies.

Many thanks guys,

if your talking intruder then both nsi and ssaib do non iso schemes. ssaibs is called ssaib lol and nsi's is called nsi silver.

thanks guys, its only fire i would be intrested in. We dont really deal with intruder apart from very small domestic systems.

Whats the TBFC like to join that would be my best option cant see me needing bafe or anything for a few years at least. Ive had a bit of a read on all the various websites but so much eaiser to ask people that have already been approved.

I did think about FSB like i said at the moment its just a little something for reassurance for a few customers.

Thanks,
