Questions

Toolkit FAQ

If I buy the toolkit, are you my QI?

No. The toolkit gives you the documents and guidance, and you designate your own Qualified Individual. We become your QI only under a Managed QI agreement.

What format are the files?

Editable Microsoft Word and Excel files, delivered as a download.

Does it cover the small-business exemption?

Yes. Requirements that apply only to businesses with 5,000 or more individuals are marked, so smaller businesses can see what applies to them.

Can I use it for more than one business?

The license covers internal use by the purchasing business.

Is this legal advice?

No. The toolkit is templates and guidance, not legal advice. For legal questions about your obligations, talk to your attorney.
