Description:
I’m building BORON-X Automotive Fluids, a Namibia-based lubricant business focused on bulk import, local repackaging, and distribution through workshops, parts retailers, and fleet operators.
The model is straightforward and execution-driven:
• ~30%+ gross margins
• Fast cash conversion cycle
• Strong, repeat demand across the automotive service market
We’re launching in Namibia with a clear path to expand into Southern Africa (with South Africa as the next step).
We are currently raising ~$100,000 to fund initial inventory and distribution rollout.
