For most small businesses in South Africa, a B-BBEE Affidavit is the key to unlocking bigger opportunities. This simple document allows you to prove your B-BBEE status without the cost and complexity of a full verification, making you eligible for tenders and supplier programs.

What is a B-BBEE Affidavit? A Simple Guide

For small South African businesses with an annual turnover of less than R10 million (called Exempted Micro Enterprises or EMEs), the government has simplified B-BBEE compliance. Instead of undergoing a complicated and expensive verification process to get a B-BBEE certificate, these businesses can simply declare their B-BBEE status on a special form called a "sworn affidavit." This affidavit, signed in front of a Commissioner of Oaths, serves as official proof of their B-BBEE level, which is determined by the ownership percentage.
