Confusion about EME vs QSE vs Generic scorecards
Expired compliance documents
EME vs QSE
The most common confusion is between Exempt Micro Enterprises (EMEs) and Qualifying Small Enterprises (QSEs).
**EME (Turnover < R10m):** Automatically compliant. Only needs an affidavit. No audit required.
**QSE (Turnover R10m - R50m):** Must comply with all 5 elements of the scorecard (Ownership, Management, Skills, Enterprise Dev, Socio-Economic Dev) UNLESS 51% black-owned.
- Threshold: R10 Million
- Automatic Levels
- Affidavit vs Certificate
- Scorecard Elements
Levels Explained
Your level determines your attractiveness as a supplier. Companies want to buy from Level 1 or 2 suppliers to boost their OWN score.
**Level 1 (135%):** 100% Black Owned. **Level 2 (125%):** >51% Black Owned. **Level 4 (100%):** <51% Black Owned.
We strategize legal ways to improve your level through legitimate ownership structures, not fronting.
- Procurement Recognition
- Supplier Competitiveness
- Strategic Ownership
- Legal Structure
Sector Charters
Warning: Generic codes don't apply to everyone. If you are in Construction, Transport, ICT, Tourism, or Agriculture, you fall under a **Sector Charter**.
These charters often have different thresholds (e.g., Construction contractors are EME only up to R6m or R10m depending on class). We check your sector code first to avoid an invalid affidavit.

Professional Insights
Never buy a 'BEE Certificate' for an EME from a verification agency unless required by a specific tender. An affidavit is the legal standard.
Fronting (faking black ownership) is a criminal offence punishable by up to 10 years in prison. Ensure your ownership structure is legitimate.
Your B-BBEE level is crucial for winning government tenders and corporate supply contracts.
