Does the size of my business matter?
Yes. If you have up to five qualifying employees, Servicing Company Membership may be the right option for you. New companies joining the NPTA with more than five qualifying employees should apply for Accredited Membership.
Can a smaller business become Accredited?
Yes. Accredited Membership isn’t only for larger companies. Smaller businesses can also choose this route if they want their systems and working practices formally assessed against recognised industry standards.
Why choose Accredited Membership?
Accreditation can help demonstrate that your business has robust systems and professional working practices in place. It also provides a useful framework for reviewing how your business operates and identifying areas for continued improvement.
