In particular, the financial crisis of 2008 seriously threatened the sustainability of businesses across all economic sectors, irrespective of size and longevity. Many businesses were unable to weather the storm and were bankrupted. Some highly leveraged BEE companies were unable to service debt and went bust. Others, including Uranus, were able to able to survive that period and are now on a sound financial footing.

The new BEE codes which became effective in 2015 are more stringent than previously. Given our experience in the BEE space over the past 12 years, we are well positioned to advise and guide potential partners to ensure that they optimize their BEE scorecards and mitigate the risks of becoming non-compliant.
As expected, Uranus is maturing as an investment company. In addition to our investments in majority white owned companies, we have investments in majority black owned companies, a portfolio of listed investments as well as investments in property.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”100px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” row_type=”row_full_center_content” class=”about-cta sec-pad” el_class=”about-cta sec-pad” css=”.vc_custom_1509701083161{background-image: url(http://uranus.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/blk-men-hands-shake.jpg?id=1035) !important;}”][vc_column el_class=”awsm-high”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1510738717554{margin-bottom: -20px !important;}”]
