Discovery Call
There will be a flat rate for the entire project, based on the scope of work and the size of your business. If you prefer to handle the process yourself, schedule another consultation with us to finalize your documentation. To get started, we'll need an initial deposit from you, and then we'll begin working on your project.
Agreement Stage
Equal Footing will upload the documents and communicate with the certifying agency on your behalf. If any additional documentation is required, we will let you know. If you request an initial or comprehensive audit, we will guide you through the process, research the best NAICS codes for your business, and conduct a mock interview.
Applying for Certification
We’ll cover everything about your project — every detail, no matter how small. We will ask questions to ensure a clear understanding of the scope, and you’re welcome to ask anything as well. We can also offer ideas, and openly discuss what’s feasible and what’s not. If you are exploring options, we can do that too, with no pressure.
Once the application is approved, we will finalize everything. At this point, the full payment will be due. After that, Equal Footing will hand over all the necessary files and credentials. If you need ongoing support, updates, or future services, we can discuss a separate agreement.
Final Touches and Handover
Planning Stage
Once we reach an agreement, the research process begins. You will upload the requested documents or information so we can start applying for your certification and find the best agency for your firm. There will still be some back-and-forth communication until your business is certified.
