Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa

R5,400,000
Turnover:
R8M - R15M
Net Profit:
On request

Step into an established Johannesburg trucking and logistics business operating at full capacity, with an asking price of R5.4 million and annual turnover of approximately R8 million–R9 million. This going concern offers an operational Mercedes-Benz fleet, existing customers, established transport routes and the infrastructure needed to continue trading from day one.

The acquisition includes three Mercedes-Benz Actros 2645 prime movers, three commercial trailers, seven reinforced transport containers and associated equipment. With recently serviced vehicles already in daily use, this is an opportunity to acquire an active transport operation rather than build a fleet and customer base from scratch.

Strategically based in Johannesburg, the business is positioned within South Africa's commercial and freight transport market. Existing customer relationships, established routes and previous cross-border assignments provide a valuable foundation for continued operations. The company is VAT registered, SARS tax compliant, COIDA registered and insured, with audited financial statements, 24/7 fleet tracking and both South African and US dollar banking arrangements.

An incoming owner can build on the existing operation by pursuing additional transport contracts, strengthening customer relationships and exploring further cross-border opportunities. The Hazchem-certified superlink trailer and versatile container-handling equipment provide additional flexibility across different freight requirements.

The sale includes the operating company and its business assets, with no real estate included. The owner is relocating, creating an opportunity to acquire an established, operational logistics business with substantial fleet assets and existing commercial activity.

Enquire today to explore this Johannesburg trucking business, request further financial and fleet information, and arrange a confidential discussion about the acquisition.
