How It Works
Structured BBBEE that qualifies for a tax deduction and ESD scorecard points

1
Setup, Funding and Structuring
We assist our partners to identify opportunities where BBBEE can be used to further their commercial and empowerment objectives. The transaction is then structured within the Futureneers B4i Empowerment framework to maximise benefits and address key long-term goals.
2
Initial Tax and ESD Benefits
As a registered section 12J vehicle, each transaction is 100% deductible for Income tax purposes - leading to an immediate 28% saving for every participant. In addition, the transaction is funded from ESD Budgets and 70% of contributions qualifies for BBBEE ESD points.
3
Ongoing ESD Benefits
While the investment in Futureneers B4i Empowerment is retained, all initial funding (and top-up payments should it be required) will qualify for 70% ESD contributions every year - even without making additional payments to the structure every year.

Long-term synergies
As already mentioned, a key part of the B4i empowerment model is connecting participating companies to other industries or commercial opportunities using BBBEE as strategic catalyst - with the ultimate aim to generate additional commercial benefits and long term, sustainable empowerment.
