You can apply to register your organisation by completing our application form, below. Before submitting an application, you should read our application quick guide:
There is an initial application fee for organisations who are new to the scheme (currently £225 for small businesses, £300 for turnover up to £1,000,000, £375 for turnover over £1,000,000). If your organisation is accepted, you will pay an annual fee based on the financial turnover of your historic environment operations.
