For many small South African businesses, especially those with an annual turnover of less than R10 million, a BEE affidavit is the most practical and cost-effective way to demonstrate Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) compliance without undergoing a full SANAS-accredited verification process. Under the B-BBEE Codes of Good Practice, companies that qualify as Exempted Micro Enterprises (EMEs) — defined as entities with turnover below R10 million — are not required to obtain a formal B-BBEE certificate from an accredited rating agency; instead, they can produce a sworn BEE affidavit that confirms their annual turnover and percentage of black ownership directly in front of a Commissioner of Oaths. This affidavit serves as the company’s official proof of its B-BBEE status for use in tender submissions, supplier engagements, public sector opportunities, and CSD registration, ensuring that even small players can participate in procurement processes that require evidence of empowerment. The level of B-BBEE recognition you achieve through an affidavit depends primarily on black ownership: companies with 100% black ownership can qualify for a Level 1 contributor status with 135 % procurement recognition, those with 51 %+ but less than 100 % black ownership typically earn Level 2, and entities with less than 51 % black ownership generally qualify for Level 4 status. Because BEE affidavits must be renewed annually and clearly state your company details, turnover, and ownership percentages, they are a valid and widely accepted compliance document for small businesses that want to grow without the higher costs and complexity of full verification.
