Without the experience behind the cert, any and all certs aren't even worth the paper they're printed
on. This is true, and I couldn't agree more. However, the thing about certs is that they have to be measureable and repeatable...which, when one becomes popular, very quickly leads to bootcamps, etc. There a lot of folks w/ the necessary experience...but even that doesn't make a "qualified" security professional.
With that said, the most notable Security cert would have to be CISSP.
The CISSP may be useful for Robert's upper-level folks, but it's really more of a management level cert. For what Robert seems to want to do, I wouldn't think that any certs would be necessary...after all, are small businesses really going to want to pay the higher price for folks w/ high-level certs? Robert, saying you want to set up a security consultancy for small businesses, what kind of services do you plan to offer? Maybe that would help your decision regarding certifications. It might be advisable to look for folks w/ MCSEs, Red Hat cert...whatever os's you're going to support. Hope that helps a bit...
