Highly Profitable Borehole Drilling Business for Sale
BOREHOLE DRILLING BUSINESS FOR SALE – GAUTENG REGION
We are offering a rare opportunity to acquire a well-established and highly reputable borehole drilling business operating throughout the Gauteng area. With six years of proven success, a 4.6-star Google rating, and a strong reputation for exceptional service and honesty, this business stands out in a high-demand, high-margin industry with enormous potential for continued growth.
Our company’s success is built on three pillars — service excellence, integrity, and quality. We are known for delivering outstanding workmanship through a team of well-trained, reliable, and hardworking employees who take pride in maintaining the highest standards of performance and customer care.
In addition to borehole drilling, we also specialize in pump and tank installations and off-grid water solutions, offering clients a complete, end-to-end service. These complementary services strengthen our client relationships and open the door for recurring and referral-based business.
We have strong partnerships with water surveyors, yield testing specialists, and filtration system providers. These industries are highly profitable and, if incorporated under one umbrella, can further enhance revenue growth and long-term profitability for the new owner.
Our office staff are highly capable, experienced, and independent, able to manage day-to-day operations efficiently without constant supervision. Likewise, our drilling teams are skilled, trustworthy, and fully self-sufficient — there is no need to watch over them “like a hawk.” This allows the owner to enjoy great flexibility and valuable free time, with full confidence that the business will continue running smoothly even without their minute-by-minute supervision.
The current owner will be available for six weeks to assist with the transition and guidance, offering professional advice and hands-on training during the handover period. This industry is straightforward and easy to manage, and with the right guidance, the new owner will have full control and confidence in operations in no time.
This is a turnkey opportunity for an investor or entrepreneur looking to step into a well-structured, profitable, and respected operation in one of South Africa’s most reliable and fast-growing sectors.
There is also an optional opportunity to purchase a beautiful 8.5-hectare farm property north of Pretoria, which currently serves as the company’s operational base. The property features a fully electric fenced modern classic double-storey home with a swimming pool and three stunning outdoor entertainment areas, three additional homes with a communal swimming pool and big gardens, servants quarters, horse stables, three boreholes, two partially constructed residential structures and much more, offering the new owner the opportunity to live on-site in comfort or generate additional rental income. There are also two horses included if the new owner wishes to keep them. While the property is not included in the business sale, it can be added as part of a combined package for an even more attractive investment deal.
If you are looking for a solid business with a trusted name, high returns, and significant expansion potential — this is your opportunity.
Warm regards.
