Main Title

About Us

tranˈsɛnd,trɑːnˈsɛnd/: verb

Be or go beyond the range or limits of (a field of activity or conceptual sphere) // surpass (a person or achievement).

Since 2005, Transcend has been acting as a trusted BEE advisor for over 500 companies in crafting and implementing their BEE strategies. This experience, together with in-depth knowledge and industry involvement, enables us to help you successfully navigate BEE – considering best practice, legislation and the evolving environment.

WE FOCUS ON
Getting Transformation Right

Transformation remains very emotive and complex with far-reaching social, economic and even political impact. Discussions on transformation still tend to provoke strong reactions, often with divergent views with key stakeholders, both in business and politics. Transcend recognises the importance of facilitating these conversations so that social distance amongst all stakeholders is reduced.

This approach together with our deep repository of best practice enables us to assist you to successfully implement Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) in a way that is aligned to your business strategy and involves wide stakeholder participation. This acts as a positive foundation towards sustainable transformation and “Getting Transformation Right”.

Transcend is currently a level 2 B-BBEE contributor with 58% Black ownership, and 14% Black Women ownership.

WHAT WE DO
Our History
Our Story

In 2005 Ownership Solutions was founded. The business grew and evolved with the relatively young BEE industry, and in 2008 it merged with another consultancy to become "Transcend". Since then we have grown further to be a leader in the BEE arena - with an experienced and knowledgeable team of professionals driving sustainable transformation across the South African economy.

Our Story cont.

Through the years Transcend split into two areas of speciality - Transcend Capital, which focuses on ownership advisory and transaction structuring, and Transcend Corporate Advisors, which focuses on advisory across the rest of the BEE scorecard, as well as training.

We have a deep-rooted interest in education and have trained many young people from disadvantaged backgrounds in many business fields. We also continue to run the premier transformation training course, through which we've trained over 7500 professionals to date.

In more recent years, as an enterprise development venture, a Black-owned talent management business; Transcend Talent Management has joined the Trasend stable.

With the close co-operation and the resultant synergies of the Advisory, Capital and Talent businesses, clients receive a bespoke BEE solution that addresses not only compliance but true transformation.
