Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE) compliance is more than just a legal requirement in South Africa, it’s a strategic necessity. Businesses that achieve strong BEE ratings gain access to new markets, secure lucrative contracts, and demonstrate a genuine commitment to transformation.
But navigating the BBBEE Codes, sector charters, and verification requirements can feel overwhelming. That’s where BEE consulting services come in.
At Transcend, our consulting solutions are designed to simplify compliance, unlock growth opportunities, and give you the competitive edge you need in the South African market.
BEE consulting services provide specialised guidance to help businesses comply with South Africa’s BBBEE legislation. Consultants work with companies to assess their current BEE status, identify gaps, and create strategies to improve their scorecard across the five pillars:
Ownership
Management Control
Skills Development
Enterprise & Supplier Development (ESD)
Socio-Economic Development
With expert support, businesses can avoid costly mistakes, prepare for verification with confidence, and achieve sustainable compliance.
Many companies choose to partner with BEE consultants for four main reasons:
Compliance – BBBEE legislation is complex, and consulting services ensure your business meets all requirements.
Market Access – A strong BEE rating is often essential for securing government contracts and private sector opportunities.
Competitive Advantage – High compliance levels set your business apart, positioning you as a preferred supplier.
Economic Transformation – By implementing BBBEE initiatives, your company plays a role in building an inclusive, equitable economy.
Our consultants provide a wide range of services tailored to your unique business needs:
Reviewing your current practices against the BBBEE Codes to identify strengths and areas for improvement.
Designing practical and customised BBBEE strategies that align with your business objectives while boosting your scorecard.
Guiding your team through implementing initiatives such as learnerships, enterprise development projects, and supplier diversity programmes.
Helping you prepare for your BBBEE verification audit by ensuring all supporting documentation is accurate and complete.
Advising on equity arrangements and shareholding structures to ensure they are compliant and beneficial.
Developing and managing training, bursary, and learnership initiatives that maximise your scorecard points while uplifting employees.
