[Grammar] two questions about "as well" and "provide with/for"

[waterborne]

Hi, teachers, I just have two questions,
First, what is the difference between "provide with" and "provide for"?
Second, Can the phrase "as well" precedes a sentence, just like in the following example,
"As well, the company should also follow the standards..."

Thanks a lot for answers.

It's not very natural. 'In addition' is better.
