Step-by-step guide to becoming a noodle reseller. Learn which products to stock, how to price, and where to buy wholesale noodles at the best prices.
Starting Your Noodle Reseller Business
Noodles are one of the fastest-moving items in any spaza shop. Here is how to start a profitable noodle reseller business.
Step 1: Register Your Business
You do not need a formal company to start small. However, registering a sole proprietorship with CIPC gives you access to wholesale suppliers and tax benefits.
Step 2: Find a Reliable Supplier
Noodle Boyz is your best bet for consistent supply, competitive pricing, and free delivery. No minimum bulk required - buy what you can sell.
Step 3: Choose Your Product Mix
Stock the most popular flavours:
- Indomie Chicken & Mi Goreng
- Kellogg's Chicken & Curry
- Kellogg's Hot & Spicy
- No-name generic noodles (budget option)
Step 4: Price for Profit
Buy at R3.50-R4.50 per pack wholesale, sell at R6-R8 retail. That is 50-80% markup. A carton of 40 yields R100-R160 profit.
Step 5: Market to Your Community
Use WhatsApp groups, flyers, and word of mouth. Offer mixed cartons so customers can buy variety packs.
