How It Works:

For smaller ESD contributions, simply select investing in our Fund or participating through our ESD Maximiser Convertible loans to receive BBBEE ESD recognition over multiple years - while we take care of the rest.
 

The journey for larger and bespoke solutions starts with concluding a blue-print how ESD Contributions can be maximised beyond simple Scorecard recognition.

The Contributing Company makes a Qualifying ESD Contribution to our Fund via equity investment or loan.

(Small contributions are aggregated for maximum impact, while larger contributors may elect for private label branding, picking their own projects and even specify the Black Shareholders to benefit from projects)

ESD contributions to the ESD Company qualifies for between 70% and 100% recognition in year one for equity investments and roll-over benefits for loans. The BBBEE Certificate is immediately issued at the point of the investment contribution.

We issue a Section 12J Venture Capital Share Certificate, enabling the Contributing Company to deduct the investment for Income Tax purposes in accordance with Section 12J of the Income Tax Act.

Each Contributing Company is issued equity shares and own a minority stake in the fund linked to specific projects with the ultimate objective of generating substantial returns on equity.

(For larger Contributors, separate Venture Capital and Private Equity Funds may be operated as a service)
