KW Commercial Texas
Serving Bexar County, TX
Do you own a business with positive cash flow? Are you thinking about selling? Hiring a “licensed” commercial real estate agent that specializes in your industry is always a smart thing to do. The problem with most business brokers is they’re not “licensed” to sell commercial real estate. In addition to that most commercial real estate agents don’t know how to evaluate and or sell a business. Hire me and you’ll have a licensed real estate agent that understands how to sell your business too. Call us today for a free consultation. We’ll explain the process and answer any questions you may have. Topics you might want to discuss are listed below. • What is the process? • When is the right time to sell? • How much is my business worth? • How will my business be marketed? • Can I do a 1031 exchange on my property? • How much does a business evaluation cost? • Will banks give buyers a loan to purchase my business? • How much is my property worth?

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.
