🚀 Boltway Investments Fundraiser Story

Empowering Southern Africa with Reliable, Affordable LPG Distribution

Boltway Energy is a South African registered start up, Boltway Energy is licensed by the Department of Energy to distribute petroleum products.

At Boltway Investments, we believe access to safe, affordable, and reliable energy is the foundation for economic growth and community empowerment. As a 100% black‑owned startup based in Gauteng, South Africa, we are building a modern LPG and petroleum distribution network designed to serve underserved rural communities, SMEs, and export markets across Southern Africa.

🌍 Why We Exist

Millions of households and businesses in the region face unreliable electricity supply and limited access to clean energy alternatives. Large multinationals often overlook smaller players and rural markets, leaving a gap that Boltway is uniquely positioned to fill. Our mission is to bridge this gap by delivering LPG and petroleum products safely, affordably, and efficiently.

💡 What We’re Building

With your support, we will:

  • Acquisition of an industrial yard.

  • Construct a state‑of‑the‑art LPG refill depot in Gauteng.

  • Acquire a fleet of road tankers and delivery trucks to ensure reliable supply.

  • Launch a digital ordering and tracking platform for customers.

  • Expand into Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, Mozambique, and DRC, creating regional impact.

  • Diversify into cylinder exchange/refill services, lubricants, and renewable energy solutions.

📈 Why Now

Demand for LPG is rising rapidly due to urbanization, industrial growth, and the need for cleaner energy. Government policies strongly support indigenous participation and clean energy adoption. Boltway is ready to scale — but we need funding to unlock our infrastructure and operations.

💵 Funding Goal

We are raising R16.4 million to cover:

  • Depot construction and equipment

  • Fleet acquisition

  • Initial stock and cylinders

  • Working capital for operations

This funding will enable us to move from the startup phase into full‑scale distribution, serving thousands of customers and generating sustainable revenue streams.

🤝 Why Support Us

By backing Boltway Investments, you are not only investing in a high‑growth energy business but also supporting:

  • Community empowerment through indigenous ownership and BEE compliance

  • Job creation and youth training programs

  • Energy security for households, SMEs, and industries across Southern Africa

  • Sustainable growth with plans to integrate renewable energy solutions

📊 Our Vision of Impact

  • Operational depot within 3 months

  • Signed contracts covering 3% market share within 12 months

  • Customer acquisition growth >20% in the first year

  • Repeat customer rate >60%

  • Expansion into 5+ SADC countries within 3 years
