Whether your company specializes in wholesale, logistics, supply chain solutions, or niche product distribution, our experienced team is here to guide you through a smooth and profitable sale.
Nuances of Selling a Distribution Business

- Recurring Revenue Streams: Subscription models or consistent order patterns can significantly boost buyer confidence and value.
- Technology Systems: Buyers favor businesses that use modern logistics software, CRM, and order tracking systems.
Distribution Business Seller FAQ

Valuation depends on profitability, customer concentration, contracts, systems, and growth potential. We conduct a comprehensive Market Price Analysis to give you a clear, realistic picture.

What are buyers looking for in a distribution business?
They want consistent revenue, growth potential, efficient operations, a strong team, and minimal reliance on the owner. We’ll work with you to highlight these strengths.
Do I have to share all my financials right away?
No, your information remains confidential until qualified buyers have signed NDAs and been vetted by our team.

No problem! We’ll help you identify actionable steps to boost value—whether referring assistance to improve margins, cleaning up books, or developing a succession plan.
Are there any hidden fees in the buying process?
Everything is fully transparent for all fees and costs involved in the buying process. The seller traditionally pays the broker fees and the buyer and seller typically split the expense of the third party closing entity. Your broker can review these items in detail as they can vary from state to state and industry type.
