If you thought your business could not afford ISO registration, this may be the opportunity you have been waiting for.

Epsilon Quality USA recognizes the financial limitations many small companies face in today's tight economy.

Making the decision to pursue a Quality Management System (QMS) and ISO Certification can be a difficult process. Even after the benefits of a QMS are acknowledged, a consideration is always the cost.

Many firms claim to be able to assist you in qualifying for federal or state assistance. While there are programs available we have found they are not easy to qualify for and it is the rare exception to benefit from assistance.

We have made receiving assistance easier with our special Small Business Scholarship Program. Epsilon Quality USA established the scholarship program to provide discounted pricing to qualifying companies.

The Way It Works

Epsilon Quality USA, including our Quality System Development Leaders, and Lead Auditors have all agreed to cut our costs to assist the small business.

This encourages the development of a Quality Management System that will benefit the company and achieve ISO certification.

So in effect Epsilon Quality USA agrees to donate some of the cost to the Scholarship program.

Why Would We Do This?

Besides demonstrating our support for American small business, it makes good business sense. The discount applied offsets the resources we would spend helping you receive federal or state assistance, and without guarantee you would qualify.

We would rather donate this overhead cost directly to your program.

By helping your company grow, we hope you continue utilizing our products and services in the future.

You deserves the same opportunities and recognition that the fortune 500 companies enjoy and Epsilon can help with your quality program.

How to Qualify

The most important factor in our decision to discount to small companies was our understanding of how small businesses operate.

Besides the Acceptance Criteria below, we are looking for companies that can implement and realize improvements quickly. This requires an organization that, has a flexible attitude, can make business and operational decisions quickly, and ownership or executive management has direct involvement.

Acceptance Criteria A company only has to meet one point of the Acceptance Criteria to qualify for documentation discounts. The level of discounting for certification is determined by the number of qualifying points. New business or start up that has been in business less than 5 years. Employs 10 people or less. Developing new technologies. Plans to provide products or services to large public companies in America and/or off shore. Is owned by a member of the US armed forces (active or inactive) or immediate family. Classified as minority owned.

Benefits If you are in the development stages of your business, now is the perfect time to begin the development of your QMS.   The manuals, forms and records included in our documentation package will be of great benefit in developing/mapping your processes.

 

What the Program Includes

Scholarship program discounting applies to:

• Documentation templates including the complete documentation package, providing all of the quality documents needed for an ISO compliant program. See below.

• The Epsilon Turn Key Program designed to carry you through the ISO certification process fast. Benefits of the program include "not to exceed" pricing and unlimited consultation.
