BEESCORE was established in 2006, being one of the initial batches of verification agencies who were accredited to conduct Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) ratings. They are committed to the process of broad-based black economic empowerment. The company shares knowledge and knows what counts in B-BBEE scoring.

BEESCORE aims to be the preferred supplier of BEE scorecard ratings to South African businesses, making the process of verification simpler, better, and faster to benefit their clients and aid in the necessary transformation of the South African economy.

They are situated in Umhlanga, Durban and whilst they service clients in KwaZulu-Natal, Gauteng/Johannesburg, and Cape Town they have expanded their service offerings nationally and will undertake work anywhere in South Africa.

BEESCORE Team
The BEESCORE team comprises qualified professional staff who are technical signatories, verification managers and verification analysts, each of whom, apart from their undergraduate/post graduate qualifications, have also completed their BBBEE MDP qualification.

BEESCORE also utilises the services of independent analysts to support its operations, to cater for seasonal business growth.

A vision that Usha and her team share is that they are committed to playing their part in actively promoting the intended spirit of the BEE codes to support the businesses and communities that will ultimately drive inclusive economic growth in South Africa.
