The BIG Story
BIG Impact Group was established in 2023 as a natural progression of a long-standing commitment to sustainable business development. Built on the combined experience of LL Inc, LLC, and LLCA, BIG provides solutions across Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG), Enterprise and Supplier Development (ESD), and Business Advisory Consulting, helping organisations create meaningful and lasting impact.
Since its inception, BIG has focused on bridging gaps in ESG implementation, enterprise and supplier development, and business advisory services, delivering integrated solutions that are strategic, practical, and tailored to each client’s unique needs. We empower new businesses to grow sustainably, strengthen SMMEs, and enhance operational and governance frameworks. By combining innovation, expertise, and measurable outcomes, BIG drives transformation and creates lasting impact across the organisations and communities it serves.

Our Specialist Business Arms
One Group. Three Specialist Pillars
BIG Impact Group delivers its services through three core pillars, each anchored in deep expertise and supported by industry-leading specialists who operate as an integral part of the BIG team. This structure allows us to provide seamless, end to end services, ensuring that every initiative is strategic, compliant, and impactful.
Strategy and Compliance:
Enterprise and Supplier Development sits at the heart of what BIG does - connecting corporate investment with real, measurable growth for black-owned SMMEs and emerging enterprises. We design and implement ESD programmes that go beyond scorecard compliance, creating genuine business value for both the investing organisation and the beneficiaries they support. From identifying the right enterprise partners to structuring contributions that drive sustainable outcomes, BIG brings the strategic rigour and sector experience to make ESD work in practice, not just on paper.
Underpinning this is a deep command of the B-BBEE regulatory landscape. Backed by the specialist consulting expertise of Lanham-Love Consulting (LLC) - with over 13 years of experience and a track record spanning more than 150 clients across multiple sectors - BIG ensures that every ESD intervention is strategically sound, compliantly structured, and defensible under scrutiny. LLC's role within this pillar means our clients benefit from both the transactional intelligence to invest wisely and the compliance confidence to do so without risk.
Legal and Governance Expertise:
BIG ensures that every solution we develop is legally sound, defensible, and fully compliant with relevant legislation. Our legal and governance pillar draws on over 23 years of combined expertise, giving clients the confidence to implement transformation strategies that are both bold and secure - from regulatory compliance to corporate governance frameworks. Lanham-Love Inc (LL Inc) provides the legal backbone that keeps BIG's solutions structured, rigorous, and risk-aware.
Learning, Development and Capacity Building:
Sustainable transformation only lands when people are equipped to carry it forward. BIG's learning and development pillar ensures that every solution we implement is supported by meaningful skills transfer, training, and capacity building. Grounded in 10 years of workplace learning experience, this pillar is delivered in partnership with the LLC Academy (LLCA), whose learning frameworks are woven directly into BIG's implementation model.
