• B-BBEE stands for Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment, governed by the B-BBEE Act and Amended Codes of Good Practice.
• Your B-BBEE level affects your ability to win government and corporate contracts — most require at least Level 4.
• Exempt Micro Enterprises (EMEs) with annual turnover under R10 million automatically qualify as Level 4 (or Level 1 if 51%+ black-owned).
• Qualifying Small Enterprises (QSEs) with turnover R10m–R50m use a simplified 4-element scorecard.
• For official certification, engage a SANAS-accredited B-BBEE verification agency.
• This calculator is a planning tool only and does not constitute an official B-BBEE rating.
