Ratings Subscriptions
Subscriptions for individual rating reports are available by region and by sector.  At this time it is not possible to purchase a subscription online.  Please contact us should you be interested and we will respond as soon as possible.

Whythawk is operational in Gauteng and the Western Cape (South Africa), expanding to other regions during 2007.  The current sectors under review are:
  • Enterprise Development (enterprise development consultants and gateways)
  • Health (HIV/AIDS orphanages and antiretroviral treatment)
  • Education (schools and skills training programs)

Service offerings:

  • Annual subscription per sector - Western Cape:  R 26 439 per annum
  • Annual subscription per sector - Gauteng:  R 34 136 per annum
  • Single rating and report within any of the reviewed sectors (no subscription required):     R 6 475 each
  • Single rating and report outside any of the reviewed sectors (no subscription required):  R 13 590 each (for up to three)
  • Single rating and report outside any of the reviewed sectors (no subscription required):  R 6 475 each for four or more ratings

Each sector subscription for each region includes:

  • All ratings reports for all rated entities operating within the subscribed sector/s
  • Three free nominations for the assessment of an organisation providing services in the sector to which the subscription relates but that has not been rated by Whythawk.
  • Updated ratings will be issued semi-annually for all rated entities
  • Alerts will be issued on an ad hoc basis
  • High level overviews will be issued on a semi-annual basis
  • An annual sector report offering insight into overall trends and development issues within the sector (general demand for services, level of service provision in region, areas for concern, general costs of providing services, and so on).
  • Telephonic support from consultants and analysts, where required.

Subscriptions are to be paid annually in advance. All subscriptions for a particular sector will run for a fixed 12-month period. Subscriptions taken out during the first quarter will be charged on a pro-rata basis for that year only, subscriptions taken out during the last three quarters will be charged on a pro-rata basis for that year and for the full amount for the following year.  The onus lies on the subscriber to make introductions where specific ratings are required.  Where we have to travel outside of our current operational area, such charges will be for the client's account.

Subscriptions are valid only in the physical office to which the reports are originally sent by Whythawk Ratings. The use or receipt of any report, its contents or information by another office of the institution must be preceded by the application and payment for an additional subscription as applicable. Organisations with several branch offices where the reports are required will therefore be required to take out individual subscriptions for each branch. Should you have a large number of branches then please enquire about specific discounts that may apply. All prices exclude VAT.

The use of our reports is subject to our standard terms and conditions, a copy of which is available on request.

Whythawk reserves the right to change these prices from time to time.
