B-BBEE affidavit and verification preparation support
Identify the applicable code, turnover and ownership evidence before selecting an affidavit or verification route for your business.
What the work covers
Use this scope to identify what you need. Your proposal will confirm the services, records, reporting frequency and fees for your business.
- Review of the stated sector and business activities
- Turnover and ownership document checklist
- Affidavit preparation support where appropriate
- Organisation of evidence for an independent verification provider
- A list of unresolved eligibility or record questions
What to prepare
Tell us which records are available and where there are gaps. We can then distinguish ongoing work from any initial catch-up.
- Company disclosures and ownership records
- Turnover evidence for the relevant period
- The procurement request and applicable sector information
- Previous affidavit or verification documentation
Timing and responsibility
Timing depends on the records, approvals and work required. Tell us about any deadline at the start. The engagement should identify the person handling your work, the review responsibilities and any external specialist needed.
Determine the applicable route first
Do not apply one generic turnover threshold or ownership formula to every sector. Confirm the applicable code and the evidence required for the business’s circumstances before preparing a sworn statement.
Preparation is different from verification
An affidavit must be accurate and signed through the required process. Where independent verification is needed, confirm the verification provider’s accreditation and scope. Creations’ preparation service does not imply that the firm is an accredited verification agency or can guarantee a B-BBEE level.

Questions before you start

The appropriate route depends on the applicable code, turnover, ownership and other requirements. Check these before selecting a document.
Can you promise a particular B-BBEE level?
No. The status must follow the applicable rules and supporting evidence.
