The RiseUp Group — Consulting & verification support
RiseUp B-BBEE
Scorecard strategy from people who've worked both sides of verification.
Why it exists
Built for a real need, not a brochure.
Most companies experience B-BBEE as an annual scramble: a verification date approaching, a scorecard full of surprises, and consultants explaining what should have been done differently a year ago. The problem isn't the codes — it's treating empowerment as paperwork instead of planning.
RiseUp B-BBEE brings more than ten years of certification and verification experience to that planning. Because the team has worked both sides — building strategies and verifying them — recommendations are grounded in what actually withstands verification, not what merely looks good in a file. And because the consultancy sits inside a workforce group, the advice connects to levers you already control: who you employ, how you train, where you procure.

What RiseUp B-BBEE offers.
Scorecard strategy
A twelve-month plan for the elements that move your level — ownership, management control, skills development, ESD — sequenced against your verification date.
Verification preparation
Evidence files built the way analysts actually test them, so verification confirms your plan instead of ambushing it.
Skills-development structuring
Training and learnership spend routed through accredited programmes (with RiseUp College) so it counts — for the scorecard and for the floor.
Ongoing advisory
The codes evolve and so do businesses; a standing advisory relationship keeps the scorecard a plan, not an annual surprise.
Who it's for
Businesses that need their B-BBEE level to survive scrutiny — because tenders, clients and licences depend on it — and want empowerment spend to build real capability along the way.

All group servicesDo you issue B-BBEE certificates?
No — certificates come from accredited verification agencies (or sworn affidavits for EMEs). We build the strategy and the evidence so that verification goes the way you planned.
We're an EME/QSE — is this overkill?
Smaller entities have simpler requirements but bigger relative stakes: one procurement decision can hinge on your status. The engagement scales to what you actually need — sometimes that's a half-day, not a retainer.
How does this connect to the workforce engine?
Employment, skills development and supplier decisions are where scorecards are actually won. When RiseUp runs your contract workforce and training, those levers are already in motion — the consultancy aligns them.

One conversation scopes it — and if you're already a workforce client, most of the groundwork is done.
