What is the difference between an affidavit and certificate?
An affidavit is used by qualifying EME or black-owned QSE businesses. A verification certificate is issued by an accredited agency for businesses that do not qualify for an affidavit.

A sworn B-BBEE affidavit is usually valid for 12 months from the date signed, subject to the specific requirements of the buyer or tender.

B‑BBEE FAQ
Who qualifies for a B-BBEE affidavit in South Africa?
Exempted Micro Enterprises (EMEs) with an annual turnover under R10 million and Qualifying Small Enterprises (QSEs) with 51% or more black ownership qualify for a B-BBEE sworn affidavit instead of a costly verification certificate.
Do I need a B-BBEE verification certificate or an affidavit?
If your business is an EME or a black-owned QSE, you only need a sworn B-BBEE affidavit. Thabo Systems helps confirm your eligibility to ensure you do not pay for unnecessary verification certificates.
What documents are needed for a B-BBEE affidavit?
You need your CIPC company registration documents (CoR14.3), recent financial statements or bank confirmation of turnover, and directors' ID copies. Thabo Systems uses these to draft a compliant affidavit ready for commissioning.

Yes. Thabo Systems provides fully digital B-BBEE compliance assistance to businesses across South Africa. We prepare the necessary legal documentation online, allowing you to finalize it at your local police station or commissioner of oaths.
