Pricing for Existing B Corps
Certification Pricing on V2.1
To become a Certified B Corporation, eligible companies must submit their self-assessment through B Impact for third-party verification and pay the relevant fees throughout the certification process. In order to remain a Certified B Corp year after year, as outlined in the B Corp Agreement, a B Corp must pay an annual certification fee, a verification fee for every recertification cycle, and possibly other fees based on the size and complexity of a company. In 2026, we will be updating our fee structure, with further adjustments planned for 2027.
With B Lab’s new standards comes new investments in structure and capabilities. Therefore, in 2026, B Corps will be shifting under a new pricing structure. Every company will experience a 5% net price increase. The pathway to that price increase will differ depending on the company’s size and whether the company is recertifying in 2026.
B Lab’s new standards are a step forward toward greater integrity, credibility, and confidence in business. With these significant changes, we are reinvesting in the community and building support for companies during this transition, ensuring we continue to provide value to our B Corp community. This has been one of our largest investments our organization has made in its 20 years, and includes:
- Aligning certification with global sustainability regulations and best practices
- Moving to external, independent auditors to verify company performance
- Development of a more comprehensive standard measuring across seven impact topics
Overall, we are implementing a more rigorous certification model that significantly strengthens the credibility of B Corp Certification.

Annual Certification Fee
All fees shown above are based on the company’s gross annual revenue for its most recently closed fiscal year. B Corps may be eligible for Equity Pricing. If you have any questions, please see our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section or contact us.
For revenues exceeding $1 billion, please contact us.
VERIFICATION Fee
Verification fees are set by an independent third-party provider and are based on your company’s revenue and employee count, so they may differ from your certification fee. Verification fees are incurred during each recertification cycle (Year 0, Year 3, and Year 5). Verification fees are exclusive of scoping fees, which may apply based on a company’s complexity.
The verification fee is entirely dedicated to covering the costs incurred by the accredited third party that performs the verification. This essential process confirms the company’s adherence to the requirements in our updated standards. These costs are pass-through costs to cover the verification and technology fees for an average-complexity company in its pricing tier. A company’s verification fee is based on either employee size or revenue size tier, whichever is the lesser of the two. This means that for some companies, the verification fee they pay will actually be at a lower pricing tier than their certification fee. For companies with annual revenues under $15 million, the certification fee covers these costs.
The verification costs shown represent baseline prices that apply to the majority of companies completing the initial verification requirements. Because each company differs in terms of size, complexity, and preparedness, individual company verification fees may vary from the costs listed above.
Additional Fees
Some B Corps are subject to additional certification processes or requirements, which can incur their own fees. The average verification costs quoted above do not apply to companies with multiple sites, non-conformities, risk-related contingencies, or additional complexity as defined in the Certification Process Requirements for B Corps or identified during the verification process. Finally, as noted above, individual company verification fees may vary from the above costs due to differences in size, complexity, and preparedness, and additional costs may arise between recertification cycles. If the above applies to your company, please get in touch with us to determine your verification costs.
