Exit Strategy Brokerage
Serving Hood County, TX
We specialize in connecting the right buyer to the right seller. Most seller's aren't looking to just sell their business and hand it over to anyone because they have worked so hard to make it what it has become today. We take the extra time to walk through the existing business model with the buyer to see if it would be a good fit for them and find out if they would like to maintain the existing business or take it to the next level! One of our transactions was featured in a Forbes article in 2018: https://www.forbes.com/sites/bobhouse/2018/10/08/schools-out-a-one-million-dollar-lesson-on-selling-a-business/#a721b44ab25b

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.
