Molecules Catalyst™ for corporates

Turn your ESD budget into cleaner sites and stronger suppliers.

Fund the development of cleaning SMMEs who then serve your own sites: enterprise development and supplier development in one programme, with the paperwork done.

How it works

Develop the SMMEs that clean your sites

  1. 1

    You fund a cohort

    Choose the number of cleaning or car-care SMMEs to develop, in the provinces where you have sites.

  2. 2

    We build the businesses

    Company and PAYE/UIF registration, Molecules Academy training, Certified Clean onboarding, starter equipment and stock, and SmartStock for quotes, jobs and invoices.

  3. 3

    They serve your sites

    Developed partners clean your sites through Molecules under one contract, one quality standard and one invoice.

  4. 4

    You get the evidence

    Quarterly reports per SMME: jobs, people employed, training completed and compliance documents, ready for your verification agency.

What your funding pays for

Built, not just sponsored

  • Company, tax, PAYE, UIF and COIDA registration for each SMME, so everyone on your sites is properly employed.
  • Molecules Academy training: chemical safety, Certified Clean method and running a cleaning business; support to register with the Services SETA.
  • Starter equipment, uniforms and professional-grade stock, with SmartDose™ portion packs for a fixed cost per bucket.
  • SmartStock for quotes, jobs and invoices, and the Certified Clean quality checks on your sites.
  • Quarterly reporting per SMME: jobs, people employed, training completed and compliance documents.

Streams you can fund

Catalyst Clean

Cleaning companies

Car washes and fleet valeters

Wash bays, valet bays and mobile fleet valeters. Fleet and dealership work routed by zone, fixed chemical cost per car, retail shelf to sell from.

Catalyst Supply

Resellers and Local Hubs

Sell Molecules in your community or host a Local Hub. You earn only from products you sell to customers, never from recruiting.

B-BBEE recognition: the honest version

Contributions may be recognised under the Enterprise and Supplier Development element of the B-BBEE Codes of Good Practice. Recognition depends on the beneficiaries' profile and your verification agency's assessment: we do not promise points.

Every cohort is costed per SMME in a written proposal before you commit, with the beneficiary documents your verification agency needs.
