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.

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?

Buy or Sell a Wholesale and Distribution Business

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.

FAQs

How much does it cost to buy a wholesale and distribution business?

Prices vary depending on the size of the business listed, but the median asking price for a wholesaler business is $699,750.

How much do wholesale and distribution business owners earn?

Wholesale and distribution business owners report median annual sales of $1,360,213 and annual owner earnings of $238,099. These figures are based on businesses that have listed their annual revenue and seller's discretionary earnings.

How do I value a wholesale and distribution business?

Valuing a business involves considering several factors, including annual sales, profit, growth (or decline) trends, and demographic trends of the local market. Brokers, business owners, and business buyers will typically rely on valuation multiples to gauge business value relative to similar businesses in the market. Revenue multiples among wholesale and distribution businesses listed for sale range from 0.38 to 0.92, with the median at 0.58. Earnings multiples range from 2.33 to 3.97, with the median at 3.07. These values suggest a typical wholesale and distribution business in the U.S. may sell for around 0.58 times its annual revenue, and 3.07 times its annual owner’s earnings.
