Sunbelt is the world’s largest business brokerage firm with approximately 300 licensed offices located throughout the world. More than 1,400 Sunbelt brokers annually coordinate an estimated 4,000 Main Street and Middle Market business transactions. That is why we say, “Sunbelt is the place to go to buy or sell a business”.

Main Street businesses typically include franchised and non-franchised restaurants, retail stores, professional service firms, small manufacturers and a broad array of other small, privately-held businesses. At any given time, Sunbelt has 10,000 or more Main Street businesses for sale. Many Sunbelt Offices are also very active in Middle Market transactions, managing both “sell-side” and “buy-side” engagements. We typically define Middle market companies as privately-held companies with annual sales of $5,000,000 to $100,000,000. Whether you are interested in buying or selling a business, we invite you to contact us for a confidential, no obligation conversation.

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.
