Did you know that as an Exempt Micro Enterprise (EME), which means you have an annual turnover of R10 million and below, you can use an Affidavit to verify their B-BBEE status without needing a formal B-BBEE certificate.
How to Obtain an EME Affidavit:
- Affidavit Template: The affidavit must be completed on the prescribed template available from the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition (DTIC) or through accredited B-BBEE verification agencies.
- Notarisation: The affidavit needs to be sworn before a Commissioner of Oaths, such as a lawyer, police officer, or court official.
The EME Affidavit is often used in lieu of a formal B-BBEE certificate, but it must be renewed periodically (usually annually) to remain valid.
