Welcome to AQRate

AQRate Verification Services is the only nationally accredited BEE verification agency with SANAS accreditations obtained in all three major business sentra in South Africa namely Gauteng, Western Cape and Kwazulu Natal. We consist of 4 private companies with shared ownership, management, verification methodology, commitment to transformation and an ethos of "independent, credible, assurance".

The brand came to be in June 2009 following an unbundling of shareholding in the National Empowerment Rating Agency (NERA) holding entity which saw two of the then three accredited verification agencies in the NERA group re–brand to AQRate (Pty) Ltd (previously NERA – Western Cape) and AQRate KZN (Pty) Ltd (previously NERA – KZN). The previous NERA office in Limpopo also rebranded to AQRate. AQRate Gauteng commenced business during June 2009.
