Import / Wholesale / Distribution

An attractive sector for buyers is the Import/Distribution/Wholesale sector. The Covid world has presented challenges and opportunities to how we do business. There have been supply issues over recent times and there is the opening up of more product options available. This business type is popular and can often be managed by someone with general business skills in sales and administration. Product quality and development is often provided by suppliers who may also be able to help fund growth through extended trading terms. However, this reliance on suppliers can also mean the business owner does not control the destiny of the business. Inventory control can also be crucial as it is important to avoid tying up your capital in excess stock levels but at the same time ‘you can’t trade from an empty barrow’. Contracts with suppliers and/or customers can be seen as valuable but usually, the contract will have an out clause if the business does not deliver satisfactorily.
