B-BBEE, made simple.strategic.verifiable.profitable.
We turn transformation into a commercial advantage. Clear strategy, programmes run with clinical discipline, and certificates that stand up to every verifier.
Your level is a sales strategy.
Large buyers score themselves on who they buy from. A better level means more of every rand they spend with you counts in their favour, and that is what wins and keeps contracts.
Set a contract value, choose a level, and see what your customer can claim.
How levels and recognition workCorporate supply chains
Procurement teams rank suppliers partly on their level. A stronger certificate keeps you on approved supplier lists and ahead at renewal.
Public sector tenders
Organs of state must apply B-BBEE in procurement, so your status can decide whether a bid is competitive at all.
Licences and partnerships
Regulators, licensing bodies and partners weigh transformation credentials when they choose who to work with.
The subtle art of B-BBEE, in sixty seconds
We explain transformation so plainly that a board can act on it the same day. Open a card to see how.
Facts that change the boardroom conversation
Twelve months, not one week
Verification is a year-long journey. Here is how we typically run it. Select a milestone.
The rulebook, or the BRAW way
Boards act on what they understand. Switch between the Codes as written and the way we say it in your boardroom.
Real work, across demanding sectors
We name sectors, never clients. Every tile is a mandate run on our methodology.
14 years. Every sector. Every scorecard.
Since 2012 we have worked across the generic and sector codes and every element of the scorecard, for JSE-listed groups, multinationals and international banks.
Plain language
Decisions get made in the meeting, not months later.
Clinical method
Five stages, one accountable lead, evidence built to the verifier’s standard.
We run it
We implement and manage programmes, with money and milestones tracked monthly.
Discretion at scale
Trusted with well over R100 billion in combined client revenue, and we never name them.
Decisions made in the meeting, not months later.
We bring the scorecard to the board as a live picture: where you stand, what each lever costs, and what the verifier will see. Plain language, clinical evidence, one accountable lead.
Numbers from programmes we saw through to the end
Most companies meet their scorecard on verification day. Ours read it every month.
Start with a diagnostic: where you stand, what it costs to move, and which levers matter most.
B-BBEE, simply.
The questions boards ask us most, answered in plain language. No jargon, no hundred-page manuals. Tap anything to explore it.
Select an element to see what it measures
Click a segment of the chart or a button. Each element has its own explainer.
What each level is worth to your customers
Your total points set your level. Your level sets how much of a customer’s spend with you they can claim. At Level 1, R100 counts as R135. Below Level 8, it counts for nothing.
Foundations every board should know
The provisions behind most disappointing results
A taste of how a scorecard improves
The principle is shared here. The detail stays in the engagement.
Knowing the rules is step one. Applying them, month after month, is our methodology.
Want these rules applied to your own scorecard?
A diagnostic reads your data the way a verifier will, and shows you the levers.
A clinical method, led by specialists, measured against the verifier.
Five stages take a business from an honest baseline to a defended certificate, and keep it there. Every page of this site points back here, because everything we do runs through it.
The five stages
Select a stage to see what we do, what you receive and how the verifier will see it.
How we guide our specialists to a result
Ownership lawyers, skills practitioners, enterprise developers and verification specialists all work to one playbook, under one accountable BRAW lead.
One accountable lead
Every engagement has a single BRAW owner who answers for the outcome, however many specialists are involved.
Outcomes before activity
Specialists are briefed on the points, level and evidence required, not just the task.
Reviewed before it reaches you
Every deliverable is checked against the Codes and the verifier’s standard first.
Designed towards the finish line from day one
Verification is where strategy meets proof. We treat it as the standard we build to, not an event we prepare for in the final month.

Switch between the Codes as written and the way we explain them to a board.
Every engagement starts at stage one.
A diagnostic gives you the baseline, the gaps and a costed view of the levers.
Verification, without the surprises.
A certificate lasts twelve months. The work that earns it should run for all twelve. Here is how we plan, evidence and defend the year.
A twelve-month verification plan
An illustrative cycle. Actual timing depends on your financial year end and the scope of your scorecard.
What happens at each point
Select a milestone to see the work and the methodology stage behind it.
Is your file ready?
The documents verifiers typically ask for, by element. Tick what you already have in order. Nothing you tick is stored or sent.
How the engagement runs
Agency appointed
A SANAS-accredited agency is engaged and the scope and timetable agreed.
File submitted
The organised evidence file is handed over in the structure the agency expects.
Testing and interviews
The agency samples documents, may interview staff or beneficiaries, and raises queries.
Findings and certificate
We answer findings in writing, then the certificate is issued for twelve months.
Where points are usually lost
Open a finding to see why it happens and how a proper process prevents it.
Arrive at verification with proof, not explanations.
Stage four of our methodology exists for exactly this.
Big business, handled with discretion.
We name sectors, never clients. Discretion is part of the service. Here is the work, sector by sector, and the methodology behind each result.
Choose a sector
Each mandate ran on the same five-stage method. The stages used are shown with every example.
Enterprise Development, fully disbursed
Two outsourced programmes, run end to end by BRAW over three years each. Every rand placed, monitored and reported.
From first mandate to the next horizon
Discretion
We name sectors, never clients. Strategies and results stay confidential.
Scale
Companies we have serviced generate well over R100 billion in combined revenue.
Governance
Board-grade reporting, documented decisions and evidence that holds up to audit.
Range
Generic and sector codes, for JSE-listed groups, multinationals and international banks.
Your sector has its own rules. We already know them.
Talk to us about where your business stands under its code.
14 years. Every sector. Every scorecard.
A team of transformation specialists that explains plainly, runs programmes itself, and stands behind the evidence. That combination is rare, and it is why large organisations stay with us.
A result, not just a report
How a BRAW engagement differs from advice alone.
Measured, delivered, defended
Where transformation is heading
Compliance is becoming continuous, evidence-led and judged on outcomes. Our next chapter is built for that shift.
Live compliance intelligence
Monthly tracking of actuals against targets, so boards read their scorecard long before the verifier does.
Programmes at national scale
Enterprise and supplier development for larger public and private programmes, where impact must be proven.
Enterprises that outlast funding
Success measured by beneficiaries still trading, hiring and supplying after the programme ends.
Put fourteen years of experience on your scorecard.
Start with a diagnostic, stage one of our methodology.
Start with an honest read of your scorecard.
Take the two-minute readiness check, then tell us about your business. A diagnostic is always stage one of our methodology.
Are you verification ready?
Five questions we ask every new client. Nothing is stored or sent.
