Frequently asked
What's the difference between Enterprise Development and Supplier Development?
Enterprise Development supports qualifying black-owned businesses that aren’t yet part of your supply chain, while Supplier Development focuses on those that are. Both are recognised on the B-BBEE scorecard, and we deliver each through structured support: funding, training, or mentorship.
How many scorecard points can ESD contribute?
ESD contributes across the Enterprise Development and Supplier Development elements of the scorecard. The exact points depend on your sector code and spend — we structure programmes to maximise recognised contributions.
Do you manage the programme end-to-end?
Yes. We manage the full process — strategy and design, beneficiary sourcing and vetting, capacity building, market access, and audit-ready reporting — so your ESD investment is impactful and compliant.
How do you keep contributions compliant and verified?
We maintain detailed records, impact dashboards, and a full audit trail, and provide verification support so contributions stand up to scrutiny during any B-BBEE audit.
Who are the beneficiary SMEs?
Qualifying black-owned, identified and vetted against your procurement strategy and transformation goals, then developed through coaching, training, and market access.
