01
A plan from your real due date
Enter the date once. alkatera works back from it and builds the plan from the gaps in your own data.
Who it is for
Drinks brands that are B Corps with a recertification date in 2026 or 2027, and brands going for certification for the first time.
Your countdown
When should you start?
Put in your recertification due date. The timeline works back from it, using B Lab’s own timings.
Evidence
Evidence that does not go quietly out of date.
alkatera marks any evidence not reviewed in over 18 months, so you refresh it before the audit. Fast forward a year and watch.
Staff surveys
Ask your team, without anyone being named.
Eight survey templates mapped to the v2.2 requirements. Answers are anonymous, and results only show once five people reply.
What you walk away with
Things you can hold, not promises.
02
Suggested answers
Suggestions for some of the Risk Profile questions and some of the actions you choose from, drawn from your data. You decide on each one, and nothing is saved without you.

Questions people ask.
Does alkatera submit my B Corp application for me?
No. You submit on B Lab’s B Impact platform. alkatera prepares the plan, the suggested answers, the staff surveys and the evidence package, then gives you an answer key and a ZIP to work from.
Which version of the B Corp Standards does alkatera support?
B Lab’s new Standards, version 2.2. alkatera’s requirement list was checked row by row against B Lab’s published Standards.
When should I start my B Corp recertification?
About 15 months before your due date, according to B Lab. B Lab says an audit is booked within 50 days of submitting, and expects 2 to 6 months from submission to a decision, so leaving it late is risky.
Are the staff surveys anonymous?
Yes. Each person gets a personal link by email, answers are anonymous, and results only show once at least five people have replied, so no one can be picked out in a small team.
Is the B Corp tool included in the price?
Yes. Every alkatera plan includes the whole platform, from £99 a month (Seed, excluding VAT), with a 30-day free trial. B Lab’s own certification fees are separate.
