Application Fee

For commencing the B Corp assessment review 

Prepared by B Lab Australia & New Zealand

Taking the next step...

Thank you for submitting your B Impact Assessment for review. By doing so, you are one step closer to becoming a certified B Corporation. Before you proceed, please make sure you understand the performance, legal and transparency requirements and annual costs of becoming a certified B Corporation. 

As of 1 September 2018, companies in Australia & New Zealand are required to pay a $500 certification application fee before commencing the Certification Review,  due to the significant amount of time that B Lab invests up-front in reviewing companies.

If you complete and achieve certification within 12 months, this non-refundable application fee will be applied towards your first year certification fee. If companies do not completed certification within 12 months, this application fee is forfeited and another $500 fee will apply in order for Certification Review process to continue. Please read all details, terms and conditions on the next page. 

Typically, Certification Review takes 4- to 6-months for small- to medium-sized companies to complete. Making improvements to your post-verified score may take more time,  therefore we suggest that you complete your first Review call within the first 3 months of submitting to ensure you have the best chance of certifying within 12 months. This way you are giving yourself plenty of time to make improvements (which can take 6 months or more) in order to meet the performance requirements. Some tips to keep in mind:

  • Schedule your review call as soon as possible. Due to an increase in certification volumes, review calls may not be available for 2-3 months. 
  • Because supporting documents must be uploaded 48-hours prior to your scheduled review call, we ask you to allocated time and resources to prepare and upload documents. 
  • Commit to attending your scheduled review call. Re-scheduling your call will cause delays. 

We are available to answer any questions that you have during the certification review process. And more importantly, we look forward to welcoming you to the B Corp Community!

Best wishes, 

The B Lab Australia & New Zealand

• This is a non-refundable application fee. 


• Paying this fee does not guarantee certification. All companies must meet a minimum verified score of 80 points to be B Corp certified. 


• You will have up to 12 months (from date of submitting) to make incremental improvements to meet the 80-point performance requirement.


• The payment of this fee will be applied towards your first year annual certification fee, if you certify within 12-months. (Eg. if you would be paying a $1,500 annual certification fee, you will only be invoiced $1,000 in the first year)


• If you do not complete certification within 12 months and would like to continue thereafter, another $500 fee will apply. Any fees paid prior will be forfeited. 


• You are ultimately responsible for making improvements to meet the performance requirement. B Lab offers some free resources to help you improve your impact, and additional support is available on a fee-for-service basis.
