There is no single price for a B‑BBEE verification because fees are influenced by several factors: the size of your business, the complexity of your ownership structure, your industry sector, the level of black ownership and the verification agency’s own fee structure. As a guideline, small to medium‑sized entities typically spend between R10 000 and R30 000 on a verification. Larger enterprises often pay more due to the increased scope of documentation and the need for deeper audits. Preparation also affects cost; well‑organised businesses with complete documentation may reduce both fees and verification time. For exempt micro‑enterprises (turnover ≤ R10 million), the compliance route is much cheaper: a sworn affidavit or free CIPC certificate is usually all that’s required.
