We are well versed the requirements needed and boast the highest industry success rate in license procurement.
Process for DMRE Fuel Licensing (Wholesale):
If you want to sell petroleum products to consumers for end use, you must apply for a wholesale license from the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy.
The license allows you to buy petroleum products in bulk (1500 litres or more, per transaction of petroleum products) from a licensed manufacturer, and to sell it to end users. The license is valid for as long as your business operates.
A wholesale fuel distribution business can also be run on a small scale as a home based business (broker model) or from an office, or as a fully fledged wholesale operation with your own storage facilities.
