Owner retiring – Genuine Part-time Opportunity

• CANNAMART INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY

  33.3% Shareholding Available — R3.5 Million
  Includes Appointment as Director

  Cannamart.co.za is a South African online cannabis and wellness platform built from the foundation of Cannabis Oil Research, which was established in 2017 and was among the first companies in South Africa to sell medicinal cannabis solutions.

  Over three years, Cannabis Oil Research developed treatment-support protocols covering approximately 600 illnesses. In 2023/2024, several manufacturers approached us to market their products, leading to the creation of Cannamart.co.za

  The platform launched with around 600 products and has since grown to more than 3,000 products across cannabis, CBD, wellness, holistic health, edibles, oils, topicals, accessories and related categories. Internal material shows the business has grown by more than 10% per month and is expanding through a national agent model.

  Market Context

  South Africa’s legal cannabis and CBD retail market is currently estimated at R4 billion to R8 billion annually, based on available industry data for 2024. This includes compliant CBD, wellness products and regulated medical channels.

  The medical cannabis segment alone is projected to grow toward ±R11 billion, reflecting strong demand for therapeutic applications and expanding regulatory pathways.

  While recreational cannabis retail is not yet formally legal, private use has been decriminalised. As a result, a significant informal market already exists, representing substantial future upside as regulation evolves.

  Industry estimates suggest that the broader cannabis and wellness sector in South Africa is expected to grow at approximately 22% to 29% per annum through to 2030, positioning it as one of the fastest-growing emerging retail categories in the country.

  The Opportunity

  R3.5 million buys:

  • 33.3% of the shares in Cannamart
  • Appointment as Director
  • Participation in the national growth plan
  • Positioning before wider cannabis market consolidation

  Cannamart is not a farming business. It sits closer to the most profitable part of the value chain: retail, branding, customer relationships and online distribution. The existing sole agent document makes the same point clearly: the real money is made in retail, branding and customer relationships, not farming.

  National Sole Agent Expansion

  The country has been divided into 30 areas.

  Cannamart is appointing one Sole Agent per area to handle local sales, customer relationships, social media promotion, wellness-shop contacts, events and markets. Eighteen areas remain available at R247 350 plus a premium for current sales.

  Agents are supported with training, advertising content, marketing support, videos, blogs and an established online store/delivery system. Support and advertising costs for the first 12 months are included in the Agency price.

  The model allows expansion without the complexity of farming, manufacturing or stockholding.

  Why Now

  South Africa’s cannabis industry is still in an early growth phase. Demand already exists, legal structures are evolving, and many operators are still informal or fragmented.

  The Cannabis for Private Purposes Act 7 of 2024 recognises adult private use and possession but still prohibits dealing in cannabis, which means the strongest formal opportunities are currently in compliant wellness products, CBD, medical channels, branding, distribution and structured customer networks.

  Strategic Position

  Cannamart has three advantages:

  1. Existing operating history
     Founded from Cannabis Oil Research, active since 2017.
  2. Large product range representing most top manufacturers
     From 600 products at launch to 3,000+ products in just over 2 years.
  3. Scalable distribution model
     Online store, national delivery, local agents and customer-facing relationships.

  Growth Target

  The target is a three-year exit plan, with the intention of building Cannamart toward an estimated value of around R100 million within 3 years, subject to growth, regulation, agent rollout and market conditions.

  Reason for Sale

  The founder is semi-retired, 79 and has declining health.

  This creates an opportunity for the right investor to come in now, take a meaningful shareholding, become involved at director level on a part-time or consulting basis, and help build Cannamart through the next stage of national expansion.

  Ideal Buyer

  Ideally, we are looking for

  • A strategic partner to look after the accounting and general admin side while we handle the sales, marketing and expansion.

If you like this so far, I suggest we organize a Teams meeting or phone call where I can answer all questions.
