	ISO 9001:2008 will improve the image of your company in the marketplace. and thus help you to secure new customers
	ISO 9001:2008 contrary to popular opinion, will actually improve your customer service and reduce operating costs by cutting down on costly mistakes
	ISO 9001:2008 will improve your control of sales orders and reduce invoice disputes and hence improve cash flow
	Not having ISO 9001:2008 may be a barrier to doing business with certain organisations e.g. government bodies, local authorities and some commercial organisations who will prefer their suppliers to be ISO 9001:2008 registered
	ISO 9001:2008 will help you to deal with other organisations as they are not required to undertake a quality audit on you as a new supplier thus removing another barrier to trade
