Exempt Micro Enterprises (EME's) are businesses with an annual turnover of below R10 million. This means that they are exempt from having to comply with the B-BBEE scorecard and merely need to prove that their annual turnover is below the required turnover threshold.

 

They are thus afforded an automatic Level 4 B-BBEE status. If an entity can also prove that they are 51% Black Owned they are awarded an automatic Level 2 B-BBEE status. If they are 100% Black Owned they are awarded and automatic Level 1 B-BBEE Status. 

The Modified Flow-Through Principle may not be applied when using the Enhancement method. 

 

EME’s require a BEE Certificate in terms of the original Codes but in terms of the Amended Codes only an affidavit confirming their B-BBEE Status. 

​

* Please bare in mind that the thresholds for qualification as an EME in terms of the different sector codes, are sometimes different to those adopted by the general Amended Codes.
