Understand the working capital the business needs to run
Inventory and receivables tie up real cash between purchase and collection; establish the requirement and whether it's included. Working capital is often the biggest swing in the price.

What to know about wholesale and distribution business acquisitions
GW
Cofounder & CEO
Key diligence, valuation, financing, and transition considerations for buyers evaluating wholesale and distribution business acquisitions.
Examine inventory quality, not just quantity
Dead, obsolete, and slow-moving stock inflates the balance sheet; get an aged analysis and value it realistically.
Quantify supplier and customer concentration
A key manufacturer or a few large accounts can carry the business and walk; if a senior rep with a big attached book leaves at close, you lose it. Review terms and exclusivity.
Confirm supplier agreements and exclusivities transfer
Distribution rights, territories, and pricing tiers are often the real asset and may not pass to a new owner.
Pressure-test margins and pricing power
Distribution margins are thin and exposed at both ends; understand gross margin by line and how much room exists when costs move.
Assess the warehouse, logistics, and systems
Facilities, fleet (new trucks run $80K–$150K each), and inventory systems drive the operation; tour the warehouse and budget deferred items.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common buyer questions for this market.
Yes, but lenders watch working capital, concentration, and inventory quality closely. Transferable supplier agreements and clean, current inventory make these far easier to fund.
