During the last couple years business in South Africa has changed dramatically, gone are the days when a company could win a tender solely on the strength of their product or service. With the finalisation of the Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment Act, tenders and contracts are awarded on the premise that the company provide opportunities for blacks in South Africa.

Du Toit and Associates consult in this process from A to Z, our service exclusively focuses on the elements of BEE. We assist our clients with the preparation for a final BEE rating by verification agents. 

We provide a comprehensive service in:

1. The set-up of ownership shareholding schemes,
2. Establishing and formalising “new” black manager structures
3. Comprehensively managing compliance with the Employment Equity Act
4. Comprehensively managing compliance with the Skills development Act
5. Obtaining the BEE ratings of the suppliers of the client
6. Assisting the client with enterprise development via our Associates
7. Assisting the client with corporate social investment

In addition to BEE assistance South African legislation requires that all businesses report on certain aspects of the business be it labour, training or statistical information. Although this may seem a trivial task, over the years it became a huge burden, purely due to the volumes nature of the documents. On average the normal business have to submit reports and documents in excess of 400 pages of data annually, consuming massive amounts of time and productivity.

More often than not businesses do not submit documentation due to the nature of it all. This is not only illegal but places them at tremendous risk, with severe cases landing at the CCMA or Civil Courts costing the business thousands of Rands.

Many businesses do not have an internal Compliance Department, dealing with legally required documentation, due to the fact that is expensive or it does not form part of the core business. However when a problem arises these businesses are often penalised and fined severely.

We become the Compliance Department of the company, dealing with certain issues of compliancy, such as HR, Employment Contracts Policies, Labour, Employment Equity, BEE, Skills Development to name but a few. We provide your organisation with the ability to comply with the law and to protect yourself in the process.

We have been delivering this service successfully to businesses for more than 10 years, at a zero cost to company. Many companies use fear to sell their services we don’t, you know the risks regarding BEE and employment and compliance in South Africa you know what happens when things go wrong.
