Ark Private Consultancy

ISO certification, without the invoice shock.

We prepare Singapore businesses for ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certification. Our fee is published up front. The certification body's fee is paid straight to them, at cost.

Fixed fee, published· Typically 6–10 weeks· Single site or multi-site· All three standards as one system

Three standards. Most companies start with one.

They share the same structure, so the second and third cost less work than the first.

ISO 9001

Quality management

The one buyers and tender documents ask for by name. It proves you can deliver the same standard of work every time, and it is the usual first step for a Singapore SME.

What is not included: the certification body's audit fee. That is paid directly to the certification body, at cost to us — we do not mark it up, and we do not take a commission from any certification body. Tell us your scope and we will tell you what their fee is likely to be before you commit.

What you get

The whole job from first meeting to certificate in hand — not a template pack you have to finish yourself.

How it runs

Five steps. You will always know which one you are on.

STEP 1

Gap review

We look at what you already have and tell you honestly how far off you are. No charge for the first look.

STEP 2

Documentation

Your manual, procedures, policies and registers — written for how your company actually works.

STEP 3

Implement

Your team starts using it for real: records, checks, supplier control, corrective actions.

STEP 4

Internal audit

We run a full internal audit, find what an auditor would find, and you close it out first.

STEP 5

Certification audit

You book the certification body. We sit in with you until the report lands.

Straight answers

Do you issue the certificate?

No, and nobody selling consultancy should say otherwise. We prepare your system, your documents and your evidence, and we get you audit-ready. An independent, accredited certification body audits the system and issues the certificate. We are not a certification body.

Why are your fees lower than other consultants?

Two reasons. We are a newer practice and we price to win the work, not to match the incumbents. And we prepare the documentation using our own tooling, so the hours that other firms bill for are simply fewer. It is the same deliverable at a lower cost, not a cut-down version.

How long does it take?

Usually six to ten weeks from the first meeting to the certification audit. The main variable is how quickly your team can review and approve documents. Multi-site, or a large workforce, takes longer.

We already hold ISO 14001:2015. What now?

ISO 14001:2026 was published on 15 April 2026 and replaces the 2015 edition. Certificates to the 2015 edition have a three-year window to transition, ending around April 2029. We treat it as a gap review against the new edition — you will not be rebuilding from scratch.

Should we do all three standards at once?

If you genuinely need all three, yes — one integrated system is less work and less money than three separate ones, because the core documentation is shared. If you only need one right now, start with that one. We will tell you if you are buying something you do not need yet.

Do you handle Malaysia or other countries?

Right now our focus is Singapore. If you operate in both Singapore and Malaysia, tell us — cross-border work is something we take on case by case.

Find out where you stand — free.

A 20-minute review. We tell you which standard you actually need, roughly what it will take, and whether you are ready to start. No pitch, no obligation.
