Wholesale and distribution businesses sit between manufacturers and end customers, carrying inventory, supplier terms and recurring order relationships. Established distributors with diversified customers are steady, financeable acquisitions. Every Wholesale & Distribution business listed on ExitToBuy is verified — financials, ownership and SBA-eligibility reviewed — before buyers ever see it, with deals from $250,000 to $25 million.
Recurring order relationships, supplier and customer concentration, inventory turns and terms, margins, and logistics capability drive value. Diversified, sticky accounts command premiums.
A listing does not go live on ExitToBuy until its core numbers are checked: reported revenue and earnings, ownership and transferability, and whether the deal is likely to qualify for SBA 7(a) financing. Escrow is part of every transaction, and financing can be arranged inside the deal.
