Be Boaz
B‑BBEE compliance for South African business

Keep your B‑BBEE level. Start with one photo.

One expired certificate from a big supplier can cost you a whole level. Snap it and Boaz reads the level and expiry, counts the spend toward your procurement points, and flags it 60 days before it lapses.

  • Reads certificates and sworn affidavits
  • QSE and Generic scorecards from the Gazette
  • Expiring certificates flagged 60 days early
  • Your data is locked to your business

Why levels slip

Supplier paperwork costs points long before the verifier arrives

  • An expired certificate

    A big supplier's certificate lapsed two months before your year-end. Their spend now counts for nothing.

  • An unstamped affidavit

    A sworn affidavit without a commissioner of oaths' stamp. The verifier rejects it.

  • No Empowering Supplier status

    The certificate doesn't say, so the spend can't be recognised until you find out.

  • A photo nobody can read

    Blurry or cut off, and nobody notices until the verifier asks for the original.

Boaz checks every document for these the moment it arrives.

How Boaz works

From a crumpled certificate to procurement points in under a minute

  1. 1

    Snap it

    A photo or PDF of a supplier's certificate or sworn affidavit, uploaded from your phone or computer.

  2. 2

    Boaz reads it

    Level, black ownership, expiry and Empowering Supplier status, checked against the Codes.

  3. 3

    It counts

    Add what you spent with that supplier. Recognised spend flows straight into Preferential Procurement.

  4. 4

    You get a plan

    The cheapest spend that lifts you to your next level, in rands, element by element.

Your scorecard

Know your level before the verifier does

Enter your year's figures once. Boaz scores every element, warns you when a priority element would drop you a level, and prices the gap.

Questions

What owners ask before signing up

Is the Boaz level a B‑BBEE certificate?
No. It's an indicative score for planning. Certificates come from SANAS-accredited verification agencies (and, for micro-enterprises, from CIPC). Boaz gets your paperwork and numbers ready for that visit.
What does it cost?
Nothing until 15 November 2026. Then the first 100 businesses can join as founding members at R950 a month or R9,500 a year, locked while they stay subscribed, with the Boaz First-Month Guarantee. EMEs stay free. Nothing is charged unless you choose a plan. See the founding offer
Where does our data go?
Each business's records are walled off from every other at database level. We keep what Boaz reads from a document, not the file. Hosting is in Frankfurt.
Which scorecards does it cover?
The QSE scorecard (R10m to R50m turnover) and the Generic scorecard (above R50m), built from the Codes as gazetted.
