FAQ

Common questions

What are the listing requirements?
Any business within a Mothusi-connected network can list on the exchange. Your company profile must include a verified BEE certificate (where applicable), at least one service category, and a company description. Listings are automatically generated from your existing company profile — no additional setup required. Premium listings with enhanced visibility are available for businesses wanting to stand out.
Are there transaction fees?
Mothusi does not charge transaction fees on deals facilitated through the exchange. The platform connects businesses and facilitates introductions — the commercial terms are agreed directly between buyer and seller. This zero-fee model encourages maximum participation and ensures the full transaction value flows to the SMEs.
How is dispute resolution handled?
The exchange includes a built-in dispute resolution process. If a service delivery issue arises, either party can flag it through the platform. The network manager is notified and can mediate. For unresolved disputes, Mothusi provides documentation of the original service request, agreed terms, and communication history — supporting fair resolution through the network's governance structure.
