I would like to thank the Quiver Tree team for assisting us in the structuring and implementation of our B-BBEE Ownership transaction. Their solutions driven approach enabled us to implement an Ownership deal within extremely tight time frames which enabled us to raise funding for expansion purposes. The process was well managed and Quiver Tree provides all of the transaction related documentation which greatly facilitated our transaction.

We engaged with Quiver Tree Capital in 2019 regarding a potential BBBEE ownership solution for our entity. As a multinational, it took some time to get our shareholders to fully comprehend the BBBEE requirements locally, and to get their buy in. In early Nov 2021, we received shareholder approval to commence the transaction, and after a busy month the new structure was effective on 3 Dec 2021. The implementation process was well run by Quiver Tree, particularly Daniella from their legal team, which allowed us to execute in quick time. Most importantly, our BBBEE verification commenced in early 2022, with the structure being fully verified by the verification agent in delivery the full 25 ownership points, as well as the 5 ED and 5 SED points.

As a foreign-owned business, we had struggled for many years to find a BEE ownership solution that represented both our commitment to empowerment and sustainable wealth creation in the environments and communities in which we operate and, at the same time, satisfying the expectations of our shareholders. However, upon discovering Quiver Tree Capital (QTC), we quickly realised that their Azure ownership structure was exactly the solution we were looking for. From the design of the structure, the legal and statutory considerations, the presentations to foreign shareholders and, ultimately, its implementation, QTC guided us through the process and answered every question that came up. We would have no hesitation in recommending QTC to anybody looking for a similar solution.

Quiver Tree worked with us in structuring and implementing our B-BBEE Ownership transaction. Quiver Tree demonstrated that they are experts in the field of B-BBEE and company legislation. Their implementation process is smooth and well managed. I would personally recommend Quiver Tree to a company looking to implement such a structure.

After a number of years of exploring a wide variety of equity transformation options without success we were introduced to QTC. From day one the competence and understanding of the BBBEE codes provided clarity and comfort. Their highly professional team provided a well-structured and acutely managed process enabling us to achieve the full BBBEE Ownership points and Black Woman Ownership level required by our customers within some fairly tight and important time constraints. Thank you to the QTC team.

From the first meeting I had with Lawrence to the completion of the transaction, Lawrence and his team provided a professional service and delivered on what they promised. The team always available to answer question, “bounce ideas” and trouble shoot challenges. Explaining the B-BBEE requirements within an international company requires some patience and clear explanations. Quiver Tree Capital supported us all the way.

After several years of exploring various ownership options to further our transformation process, we were introduced to QTC, who rapidly accelerated the whole process and delivered an ownership structure which achieved our desired objectives within a matter of months. I would like to thank the team at QTC for their proficiency, patience and guidance. The change to our ownership structure has been a major decision and undertaking and QTC led us expertly at every point in the journey. Looking forward, we are confident that the new structure will be beneficial to all of the parties involved.

I just want to actually thank you for the patience you have shown, the professionalism and most of all for allowing me to engage with you and your “exceptional mind” during the process, I know it was frustrating and that changing a team during such a frustrating time is not ideal, but from my side, thank you for giving me the opportunity to get involved and create a very amicable environment to work in, it was a real honour.

Throughout our dealings with Quiver Tree Capital, we received an outstanding level of service from Lawrence and his team. Throughout the entire process we experienced expert levels of knowledge of B-BBEE and Company legislation; exceptionally prompt responses, to all our questions and service requests. In summary, it has been a real pleasure to work with QTC and I would gladly and confidently recommend their services to any company looking to implement a tailored B-BBEE ownership solution

Quiver Tree assisted us with our B-BBEE ownership. They were extremely helpful throughout the process and made it seamless. QTC were professional and very knowledgeable and were able to solve our issues and implement solutions quickly and easily.
