Corporate Solutions

Raizcorp believes that entrepreneurs deserve the best chance to succeed and create wealth . . .We provide them with that chance. We provide services to blue-chip companies, corporate companies and even to small and medium companies, assisting them ESD and SED solutions that allow them to garner the necessary points on the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) scorecard.

Our Focus Areas

Enterprise development (ED)
Arize helps corporates to strategically and effectively deploy their ED budgets to create real, sustainable impact while serving their long-term strategies. We are renowned for our ability to expeditiously develop and implement tailored ED programmes that can be designed to:
- Support local communities
- Support specific groups such as women and youth
- Link to supplier-development objectives to ensure a healthy pipeline into supplier development programmes.

Supplier development (SD)
Many corporates have difficulty in effectively linking their SD budgets to a substantial and sustainable preferential-procurement impact on their B-BBEE scorecards. We help to devise long-term strategies to create meaningful transformation in corporate supply chains allowing them to:
- Identify businesses with the potential to be included in supply chains, and groom them for supply chain partnerships
- Increase the number and quality of existing and potential new black-owned suppliers
- Identify current well-performing black suppliers for business-development support

Socio-economic development (SED)

Preferential procurement

Why work with Raizcorp?

Strategic Alignment

Verification Support

Footprint

Our system is geared towards understanding our clients’ needs and designing programmes to both fulfil their mandate and also strategically enhance their economic position.

Arize provides all required documentation for the verification process under the generic Codes of Good Practice. We produce “verification packs” for each ESD beneficiary business.

We have a footprint across South Africa and are able to delivery both physical and virtual programmes.

Budget

Measuring Impact

We tailor programmes based on your needs and your budget. (The generic B-BBEE development codes for ESD require businesses to invest 3% of their net profit after tax – 1% on ED and 2% on SD.) One hundred per cent of your spend with Arize is attributable to ESD points.

Our M&E department rigorously measures all our programme metrics to both show the impact of your investment and also for B-BBEE verification purposes.

Sector Specific Solutions

Social Labour Plans (SLP)

We work with mining companies to design and implement SLP elements. Our SLP programmes are designed to ensure that all Department of Mineral Resources requirements are met, and that there are comprehensive paper trails and proof. We can also coordinate SLPs with ESD requirements.

Renewable Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPP)

Arize has supported a number of IPPs to meet the REIPPP standards for economic transformation and corporate social investment. We can develop local businesses, promote entrepreneurship within communities, find potential local suppliers and prepare them to join supply chains, and evaluate businesses to identify those most suitable for funding

Environmental Social and Governance (ESG)

ESG standards govern how organisations manage their relationships with nature and the environment, and employees, suppliers, customers and local communities. We can align programme objectives and entrepreneur sourcing to align with your company values.

Client Endorsements

Volkswagen South Africa

VWSA commissioned Raizcorp to build and operate a business support centre / incubator in Uitenhage to support 16 local entrepreneurial businesses. The project is in its third year and we are extremely satisfied with the results of the programme thus far. Raizcorp conducts itself in a professional manner and has met all our contractual requirements to date. I would therefore recommend Raizcorp as a business incubation partner.
