B-BBEE ownership forms an integral part of the overall B-BBEE scorecard. The ownership element is one of three priority elements with the requirement that 40% of the Net Value points on the ownership scorecard needs to be achieved by a measured entity, in order to avoid the discounting principle being applied.

 

It is important that a B-BBEE ownership structure not only be implemented for the sake of scoring points on the ownership scorecard. The B-BBEE ownership structure needs to make business sense and needs to align with your overall corporate strategy.
