START a new future for your food business.
START is a food safety development programme created specifically for aspirational food businesses. It helps you build the structure, confidence, and credibility to move beyond local and HACCP-based certifications, and toward recognised certification.
With START, you get more than compliance, you get a route to new opportunities.
Retailers and brands want safe, reliable supply partners, and START prepares you to be one of them. It opens doors by helping you prove you are ready for bigger things.
And because START is from BRCGS - the global leader in food safety certification - you can grow with confidence and stability.
From your first steps to globally recognised certification, BRCGS is with you all the way.
