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.

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.

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.
