Business Idea: Gas Refill Business

Starting a gas refill business can be a profitable venture in a location where there is enough demand. Many South Africans rely on LPG gas for cooking and heating, so there is always a demand for refill businesses.

In order to become an LPG gas distributor in South Africa, you will need to hold the right wholesale license. A DMRE 38 wholesale license is required. The application for this will need to be done through the regional office of Department of Mineral Resources and Energy. You will also need to pay a R500 annual license fee.

Once the license has been granted, you will need to submit annual business information to the department. This is done through the wholesale license annual information submission form, DMRE 30.

With a strong business plan and a strategic location like those ones in filling stations , your gas refill business can be highly profitable.
