For advisors
A trusted referral your clients
will thank you for.
Your clients are looking for a B-BBEE ownership solution that works on all levels — a simple referral to us could be the best thing you do for them. It can be lucrative for you too: enhancing your reputation, increasing your advisory work, and offering passive annuity income.
What we offer your clients
Our B-BBEE ownership solutions work on all levels — legitimate, owner-friendly, future-proof, and built to scale with the business.
Compliance
100% legit.
Empowerment is achieved at multiple levels.
Our approach has been scrutinised by the B-BBEE Commission and approved by each client’s verification agencies, every year.
We welcome your review.
Ownership
Nothing given away.
Your client’s existing shareholders remain ultimate owners of their business.
No equity is sold, gifted, or diluted away.
Control
Operational control maintained.
Your clients run their business in the way they see best.
We guide decisions relating to qualifying investments into great, black-owned businesses.
Our role is primarily at a fund management level.
Investment
A strategic investment, not an expense.
Use our B-BBEE ROI calculator to model whether ownership adds value to your client.
If the answer is yes (it is, over 95% of the time), we’ll find a deal that’s a no-brainer investment decision.
Tusker fees are competitive with other scorecard points and bring far more to the table.
Future-proof
Every option stays open.
Unlike other ‘solutions’, the full range of corporate options remains available — your clients can raise capital, declare dividends, sell, restructure, etc.
If B-BBEE is ever scrapped or stops adding value, the agreement ends and the business remains theirs.
Simplicity
Two agreements, plain English.
Over the last decade we’ve invested heavily in making the complex simple.
Two battle-tested agreements govern everything, written without legal mystique. This makes a deal easier to understand and execute.
Speed
Fast when it needs to be.
We’ve closed a deal in under a week. Most take 3–6 months. We work at your client’s pace, not ours.
Oversight
Regulated, audited, monitored.
Beyond the B-BBEE Act and Sector codes, we’re governed by FAIS (FSP 49558).
We are SAVCA and BEE Chamber members, with external audit and ongoing compliance monitoring.
How Tusker works
While the details are post-NDA, our solutions work similarly to an Equity-Equivalent: clients invest proportionately in 25%+ black businesses.
The amount required depends on how much B-BBEE ownership they need and on their financials, but is (a) generally far lower than expected, (b) an investment, not an expense, and (c) drawn from a variety of strategic and financial options.
Beyond the design and implementation of the transaction itself, we manage the ongoing regulation and compliance of the structure, the asset allocations, and the investments into B-BBEE businesses.
Tusker, and the clients we help.
Tusker is the trading name of Musth Capital (Pty) Ltd, a 51% black-female-owned Private Equity fund manager (FSP 49558 — Cat I & II).
Operating since 2017, focused exclusively on B-BBEE ownership, now managing over R1.5bn of B-BBEE equity.
No client has ever left us.
We can help any company operating in South Africa where the ROI from B-BBEE ownership is >R500K p.a. — startups, EMEs, QSEs, Generics and multinationals. Businesses from R25m upwards generally grasp the value fastest. From a referral perspective, bigger is always better, but revenue from smaller clients adds up too.
How this helps you
A referral to Tusker is a high-quality option for your client — and a generous, lifetime referral commission for you.
Trust
Build trust with your clients.
Your clients are looking to you for trusted advice. Introducing them to a high-quality option strengthens the relationship.
Advisory work
Extra advisory work for you.
Although we keep our approach simple, every engagement creates advisory work around it — B-BBEE analysis, financial impact modelling, strategic choices, and legal review and structuring.
Annuity
Lifetime referral commissions.
Our model is built on the monthly management fees clients pay to us — effectively an annuity.
We pay generous referral commissions linked to the lifetime earnings from each client you refer. As we earn, so do you. A simple introduction can set you up for years of passive income; the larger the client, the larger the commission.
Note: some professions (e.g. legal) have anti-touting rules — we pay referral fees to everyone who can earn them, and they make no impact on what your client pays.
