The Benefits of Having a BBBEE Certificate One of the biggest benefits of having a good BBBEE certificate is being able to conduct business with government sectors (including municipalities) and public entities. A certificate allows a company to tender – and the higher the level of your certificate, the better your chances of winning. There are eight levels of BBBEE compliance, with Level 1 being the highest and most desirable. Other advantages of having a BBBEE certificate include having a better chance of securing contracts with large companies and big industry names, because they are encouraged to do business with smaller BBBEE-compliant companies. A certificate allows you to participate as a supplier in the lucrative chain of preferential procurement. A further benefit of having a BBBEE certificate is the impression it gives. A certificate shows that you care and that your business is committed to making a positive difference in society. Remember that BBBEE policies are focused on effecting transformation in the business world by empowering greater black economic participation. A BBBEE certificate can be promoted in your business’s marketing materials.
