From its beginnings in 2018, there has been a gap in the South African market for Oil Drop to exist. Oil Drop has not only grown within South Africa, but has burst the borders, treading international territory as well. “Oil Drop has currently franchised out, and we’re currently sitting with a number of 20 new franchises around the country”, says founding member, Hermann Vorster. The effects that the pandemic has had on the economy has caused many people to seek alternative employment solutions. There has been an influx of people seeking entrepreneur opportunity in the market. When Oil Drop decided to franchise, the market was ripe for it. Franchising has proven to be a viable decision, not only for Oil Drop itself, but also for its new franchisee members, and continues to offer the opportunity to individuals who want to invest in their future, and build a successful business. Oil Drop aims for only the best, and from the get-go, set out to be the leading enterprise in the collection of used cooking oil throughout South Africa. They have achieved that, and are currently standing as the largest collectors of UCO in the country.
