Hi, as a cc doing less than R5 million turnover, do I need to get a Certificate from a company doing ratings or is a letter from my accountant stating that this fact sufficient to give me a rating.

The reason I'm confused is that I have received a "Certificate" from a company previously, see attached. But now when I wanted a new one I got this mail from them, "Please note that we are not a verification agency.
We do not produce certificates.
We consult to you and produce the documents on your letterhead which you and your accountant sign.
The documents are produced in line with the codes".

Are they just a scam?

Can somebody point me to a company that will give me the documentation I need.

I'd really appreciate it. Mine has expired.

Hi Peter,

It is my understanding that a letter from your Accounting Officer will suffice.
My Accountant does one for me annually and I have to date not had an issue with any of the finance houses I deal with.

Hi

A letter from an Accounting Officer is sufficient for (EME) Exempt Micro Enterprise which is the one in your case.

Thanks
