Hi all, Hoping to get some advice.

Details: New company (a (Pty) ltd) with turnover of less than 10 million per annum (EME) is 51 % Black female owned:

Does this automatically give the company a BEE Level 2 Status?

What would we need to do to get the company to Level 1 from a Level 2? It is a small business with one staff member at present (The black female owner).

I understand that:

• Ownership
• Management Control
• Skills development
• Enterprise and Supplier development

All assist in increasing the levels but other than ownership is this applicable to EME's as well?

Do we need to hire a professional to create a BEE scorecard in order to claim Level 2 Status or would it also be an affidavit as it is an EME?

Thanks so much
