BEE Exemption Certificate

Dear Business Owner
When you apply for a BEE Exemption Certificate please take note that only a member of ABVA can issue this certificate. It came to our attention that numerous companies are marketing this service without themselves being registered with ABVA (Association of BEE Verification Agencies). The only other alternative is a letter from your accountants stating that your turnover is less than R5 million per annum, this however do not give you a scorecard or a score or a procurement recognition level your customers can use to get points on the procurement element of their scorecard.
BEE Rating Solutions (ABVA FULL MEMBERSHIP NO: BVA 049) provides Exemption Certificates at a discounted rate, R490 plus VAT, until 14 December 2007. We also assist companies with QSE scorecards, Generic and Construction Sector scorecards.

To the best of my knowledge this is incorrect. SANAS the accreditation body have not accredited any agencies as yet.
