Initially, the Group will have 4 layers of management including; Branch Manager (at a Branch Level), General Manager (at a Divisional Level), Managing Director (at a Subsidiary Company Level) and Chief Executive Officer (at a Group Level). However, as a company grows more layers will be introduced as and when requires i.e. Provincial Manager (at a Provincial Level) Regional Manager (at a Regional Level) and National Middle Managers (at a National Level).
The Board of Directors will be nominated during October 2030 by all stakeholders of which the CEO will become Ex-Officio member. All Executives will be held accountable to the Board of Directors which will be composed in line with the good principles of Corporate Governance.
The Group will start off with 25 branches which are strategically located in different parts of South Africa. 13 of these 25 branches will be co-owned with Branch Managers whereby they will be allowed to purchase up to 40% share in the branch they will be managing and the rest of the shares will be directly owned by IBEC Accounting which is an independent entity held by IBEC Business Solutions a Subsidiary of IBEC Group. Only 12 of the 25 IBEC Accounting Branches will be 100% owned by the company without partnership option.
However, the company offers profit share to Branch Managers in line with the terms and conditions of their employment contract. The main difference between partnership and profit sharing scheme branches is that in partnership branches, branch managers contribute to the branch startup capital proportionate to their shareholding whereas in profit sharing scheme branches, there is no contribution made by the branch manager.
The process of recruiting the other 4 subsidiary companies will run between July and September 2030. We are currently laying a sound legal ground work on which the Group will be built including the draft MOI and MOU as well as business strategy document.
