Wholesale and distribution businesses are a pivotal part of the supply chain, operating in-between product manufacturers and retailer businesses. These businesses purchase goods in large quantities directly from manufacturers or producers, benefiting from lower costs per unit, and then redistribute these goods in smaller quantities to various outlets, or in some cases, individual customers.
Whether you are considering buying or selling a wholesale and distribution business, having some context is important for evaluating individual businesses relative to the market. To that end, we have aggregated business for sale listing data of wholesale and distribution businesses and surfaced key financial metrics and valuation multiples based on asking prices.
