Transworld Business Advisors
Serving Onondaga County, NY
When a company owner needs to sell their business, they can't just stick a for sale sign in the window. For someone that personally went through the process of selling a business in Syracuse, I understand the challenge to selling while maintaining a profitable business. Owners need the assistance of a business broker to locate and vet potential buyers. On the other side, buyers rely on the broker to help facilitate the process of evaluating potential businesses and franchises for sale. Transworld Business Advisors of Syracuse provides the solution for both scenarios. Transworld Business Advisors of Syracuse focuses on three core concepts: business brokerage, franchise consulting, and franchise development.

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.
