B-BBEE OWNERSHIP SERVICES

Ownership is a Priority Element on the B-BBEE Scorecard and one of the most powerful ways to drive transformation and business growth. Our team of experienced B-BBEE ownership consultants provides tailored B-BBEE ownership solutions to help you structure and implement ownership in a way that is both compliant and aligned with your long-term business goals.

Through our specialised B-BBEE ownership advisory, we assess your current ownership structure, conduct detailed evaluations, and provide strategic recommendations; from B-BBEE direct ownership advisory to implementing the modified flow-through principle, ensuring your business achieves maximum scorecard benefit while contributing to sustainable empowerment.

We also prepare accurate Independent Competent Persons Reports (ICPRs), giving you reliable, verification-ready ownership data and helping you meet the sub-minimum requirement of 40% of the realisation points on the ownership element.

We can assist with the following BBBEE ownership structures:

Flow-through (Direct) Ownership

We assess and advise on structures where black ownership is measured directly at each level of the chain, ensuring clarity and compliance with the Codes.

Modified Flow-through Ownership

Where applicable, we apply the modified flow-through principle to provide flexibility in ownership measurement, while still maintaining compliance with B-BBEE requirements.

Evaluations of Trusts

Our analysts review trust structures to confirm eligibility and alignment with B-BBEE ownership rules, giving you confidence that your trust arrangements support compliance.

We evaluate mandated investments to determine whether they can be recognised for ownership points under the scorecard, ensuring no opportunities are overlooked.

Continued Consequences (Once Empowered, Always Empowered)

We advise on the “once empowered, always empowered” principle, helping businesses retain ownership recognition where applicable, even after transactions change.

Sale of Assets

Our team provides guidance on structuring the sale of assets to ensure ownership recognition is correctly applied and measured under the B-BBEE Codes.

Broad-Based Ownership Schemes

We review and advise on broad-based ownership schemes to ensure they are structured correctly, compliant, and contribute effectively to your ownership element.

Employee Share Schemes

We assist in designing and implementing employee share schemes that comply with the Codes and deliver meaningful ownership benefits for employees and the business.
