BEE Certificate

A BEE certificate is an absolute crucial part of a business in South Africa. 

An entity can apply for a BEE exempt certificate or known as a BEE Exempt Micro Enterprise scorecard when its turnover is less than R 10 million per annum.  The following trades do have other thresholds:

1.  Construction - R 1.5 million

2.  Tourism - R 2.5 million

It is important to always have a valid scorecard as any tenders to municipalities or government organisations will request this.  Other private companies will also use your certificate for the own BEE status and scoring.  The scorecard is valid for 12 months from date of issue.

The BEE EME scorecard can be a Level 1,2 or 4.

A exempted micro enterprise will be deemed to have a B-BBEE Level 4 status OR

A level 2 B-BBEE status with at least 51% but less than 100% black ownership OR

A level 1 B-BBEE status with 100% black ownership.
