Good for Business: New BSI SME Guide published

Good for Business: The small business guide to standards explains the business benefits of using a range of universal standards. These include business continuity management, sustainability, innovation and customer service standards which can be applied by any organization, regardless of sector.

Case studies included in the guide demonstrate how small businesses are benefitting from using standards:
• Discover the benefits to a consulting structural engineering company of following around 30 standards in the course of its day-to-day work.
• Learn how a remediation contractor for brownfield sites is using health and safety standards to improve its success in tendering for new work.
• Find out how a financial planning company, with two employees, has used customer service standards to boost business.

Good for Business also contains advice on getting involved in the standards-making process and information on the Kitemark® and CE marking.
