The opportunity

Your local wholesale and supply depot.

Hold stock locally, supply Waterpreneurs and your own bulk accounts, and help nearby customers collect. Sales builds your opening product mix with you, rather than supplying a fixed box.

01

Your area on the map

You are listed on the distributor map for your area so nearby buyers can find you. We may appoint more than one MD in an area depending on population and performance. The listing is non-exclusive.

02

Supply Waterpreneurs

Supply and support local Waterpreneurs, alongside your own bulk customers and accounts. HQ provides training materials to help you support them.

03

Serve returning customers

When you service a customer going forward, you supply them and keep the full MD margin on those sales. Sales volumes, reorders and income are not guaranteed.

04

Practical stock storage

Allow roughly 12–20 m² for storage. A single garage usually works if it is safe and dry; a dedicated warehouse is not required on day one. Keep stock organised and make collections convenient for the customers you serve.

Results may vary. Earnings depend on individual effort and market conditions.

Your role

What you'll manage day to day.

You run the local depot: hold stock, organise collections, serve customers and manage your operating costs.

Operations

Stock and collections

Hold stock locally and organise collections for buyers and Waterpreneurs. Agree any additional delivery arrangements with the customer.

People

Waterpreneur support

Help the Waterpreneurs you supply with product information and ongoing service. HQ provides training materials. There is no franchise fee or royalty.

Sales

Account management

Build your own bulk and business accounts. MD pricing is 50% off RRP. Your actual profit depends on selling prices, volumes and operating costs.

Standards

Quality and brand standards

Store and handle stock responsibly, give customers accurate product information, and follow Designer Water brand and operating guidance.

Results may vary. Earnings depend on individual effort and market conditions.

Revenue model

Advertising. Collection. Credit. Repeat sales.

Designer Water invests in national brand marketing. Local demand and sales vary. You provide the local stock and customer service. Advertising does not guarantee orders or income for any MD.

01

National demand

National advertising attracts buyers and Waterpreneurs. Customers can find you on the distributor map or be directed to the nearest mapped MD for their suburb.

02

Local collection

You hold stock so local customers can collect from you, including customers who have paid Designer Water online.

03

Credit at MD cost

When a customer pays Designer Water online and collects from you, we credit your account at MD cost for the stock you supply. This is an account credit, not a promise of a cash commission.

04

Your ongoing sales

Going forward, if you service that customer, you supply them and keep the full MD margin. You also supply Waterpreneurs and your own bulk accounts at MD pricing, 50% off RRP. Allow for your operating costs.

Results may vary. Earnings depend on individual effort and market conditions.

Who we're looking for.

Master Distributor is a senior partnership. We're selective because your success defines the brand's presence in your region.

Distribution experience

FMCG, beverage or logistics background preferred. You understand route-to-market, account management and team coordination.

Initial stock capital

Opening stock is R85,000 incl. VAT, about R170,000 at full retail value. Sales builds the product mix with you. Free delivery in South Africa is included on this opening order; loads are planned from about four pallets.

Defined region in mind

Tell us your preferred area or city. Sales reviews territory fit, population and performance. Map listing is non-exclusive, and an area may have more than one MD.

Operational capacity

Allow roughly 12–20 m² of storage. A single garage usually works if it is safe and dry; a dedicated warehouse is not required on day one. Plan how you will hold stock and reliably serve collections and your own customers.

Long-term view

Give a realistic estimate of monthly volume and when you want to start. There is no guaranteed income or payback period. Results depend on how you sell, service customers and run costs.

Brand alignment

You believe in product quality, ethical business and transparent operations. The Designer Water brand stands for honest claims. Your conduct reflects that.

Common questions

Master Distributor. Your questions, answered.

Still unsure? WhatsApp us on +27 68 628 4427 for programme information. Sales confirms territory fit, your opening stock mix and the next steps.

What investment is required to become a Master Distributor?
The opening stock order is R85,000 incl. VAT, about R170,000 at full retail value. MD pricing is 50% off RRP. Sales builds the product mix with you; it is not a fixed box. This is a local wholesale and supply depot business, not employment or the R539 Waterpreneur Starter Pack. Retail value is not guaranteed sales or profit.
Is delivery included on the opening order?
Yes. Free delivery in South Africa is included on the R85,000 opening stock order. We plan loads from about four pallets. Sales confirms your product mix and delivery arrangements. One-pallet free delivery is not a standard promise. This opening-order benefit does not mean every future order has free delivery.
How do online payments, collections and credits work?
Designer Water invests in national brand marketing. Local demand and sales vary. Customers can find you on the map or be directed to the nearest mapped MD for their suburb. When someone pays us online and collects from you, we credit your account at MD cost for that stock. Going forward, if you service that customer, you supply them and keep the full MD margin.
Is my territory exclusive?
No. You are listed for your area on the distributor map so nearby buyers can find you. We may appoint more than one MD in an area depending on population and performance. There is no hard monopoly. Anyone may still sell Designer Water elsewhere. Sales confirms territory fit before appointment.
How much storage space do I need?
Roughly 12–20 m². A single garage usually works if it is safe and dry; a dedicated warehouse is not required on day one. Plan for suitable stock storage and convenient customer collections.
What support and ongoing fees are involved?
HQ provides training materials and national advertising support. There is no franchise fee or royalty. Your opening investment buys stock, not your full operating budget. Budget working capital and running costs separately. Before appointment, you need an opening-stock quotation, a current approved MD/Waterpreneur price list and a signed MD agreement covering territory, performance, brand and termination. The 31 August 2026 price list is a draft with its effective date pending approval. Sales confirms current SKU prices.
Who can I supply?
You supply local buyers, Waterpreneurs and your own bulk or business accounts. Your MD stock price is 50% off RRP. You retain the full MD margin when you supply and service the customer directly, before your operating costs.
Is income guaranteed?
No. Results depend on how you sell, service customers and run costs. There is no guaranteed order volume, income, profit or payback period. Results may vary. Earnings depend on individual effort and market conditions.
What should I send to apply?
Send your name, preferred area or city, business/sales/distribution background, expected monthly volume, start date, confirmation of R85,000 available, and your intended sales channel and approach to representing the brand. Sales confirms area fit and builds your opening stock mix.
