The Ready-to-Go BBOS Model plugs your company straight into a pre-structured, fully compliant Broad-Based Ownership Scheme. SolveSA has already done the hard part — the trust deed, the trustees, the compliance framework — so you get verifiable Ownership points without building anything from scratch.
No structuring fee on the Ready-to-Go route. Compliance, administration and governance handled entirely by SolveSA.
A pre-built path to genuine, verifiable Ownership transformation — managed end to end by SolveSA
Most companies know a BEE ownership transaction can materially move their scorecard. Far fewer have the appetite to build a trust, appoint independent trustees, run an IFRS 2 valuation and negotiate a partner from a blank page. That process routinely takes six to twelve months — before a single Ownership point is scored.
It's the single largest priority element on the scorecord — and the one most companies are furthest behind on.
Drafting a trust deed, amending your MOI, sourcing independent trustees and getting sign-off can stretch a transaction out for months.
Voting interest, economic interest, designated groups and black new entrant status all have to be scored correctly — and verified.
You need corporate finance, legal, tax and BEE verification input all at once — and few internal teams have all four on tap.
SolveSA has spent years helping South African businesses turn B-BBEE obligations into real, defensible outcomes. For Ownership specifically, we've done the groundwork most companies never get past — a compliant, broad-based trust structure with independent trustees and a proven compliance framework already in place.
Instead of starting a transaction from zero, you start from a structure that's ready to receive your shareholding today.
A portion of your company's shareholding is issued to the SolveSA BBOS Trust — a broad-based ownership vehicle that already qualifies as a compliant scheme under the B-BBEE codes. Your existing shareholders retain full economic protection through a call option, while your business immediately reflects a materially improved Ownership score.
Ownership points are earned for voting interest, economic interest, participation as a broad-based scheme, and recognition as a black new entrant — all four are already built into the SolveSA BBOS Trust structure.
Illustrative structure only — the exact split, use of capitalisation shares and any underlying asset or IP arrangements are tailored to your business. Your company retains a call option to repurchase the Trust's shares at market value at any time.
Whichever path you choose, SolveSA project-manages the deal from first conversation to verified points, coordinating every advisor involved.
We understand your requirements, present structure alternatives and explain the accounting and regulatory implications, including IFRS 2 considerations.
Skip the months of drafting a new trust — the SolveSA BBOS Trust is already established, governed and ready to take up shares.
Subscription agreements, MOI amendments and call-option terms drafted and reviewed, with negotiation support throughout.
Correct application of the ownership codes and scoring, liaising directly with your BEE verification agent.
Compliance, statutory filings and audited accounts for the Trust managed by SolveSA for the life of the structure.
Open, documented reporting on how dividends and value flowing to the Trust are deployed against your chosen upliftment mandate.
A clear, five-step route from "what could our Ownership score look like?" to verified points at your next B-BBEE verification.
We assess your current scorecard, shareholding and objectives, then model the Ownership uplift available to you.
Plug into the Ready-to-Go BBOS Trust for speed, or commission a fully bespoke trust built around your business.
Share issuance, MOI amendments and subscription agreements drafted, reviewed and signed.
Regulatory approvals actioned and the transaction executed, with the BEE verification agent engaged throughout.
Documented, verification-ready evidence so your improved Ownership score holds up at audit.
Both are legitimate broad-based ownership routes. The difference is speed, cost and where the administrative burden sits once the deal is done.
Your own broad-based trust, built from scratch
Plug straight into a structure that already exists
Not sure which fits your business? Both routes score identically under the codes when structured correctly — the right choice depends on your appetite for running your own trust long-term.
Indicative fees for the Ready-to-Go BBOS Trust route. A bespoke ownership structure is quoted individually once we understand your requirements.
