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.

Patented Sprint Resistance Trainer, NFL & D1 Base, 60% Net Margin
Texas, United States
TX, US
Patent-protected athletic performance and speed training equipment brand, founded in 2013 and operated since by its two owners. The company designs its product, imports it from a long-standing overseas manufacturer, and sells direct through its own website to professional sports organizations, NCAA Division I athletic departments, United States service academies, private training facilities, and individual coaches and trainers. The customer base spans professional football, baseball, and soccer, major-conference college athletic departments, and international buyers including a UK catalog reseller that places recurring bulk orders. It is exceptionally diversified: no single customer represents more than roughly one percent of cumulative lifetime sales. The company does not discount for volume. Professional teams pay list price. Lifetime revenue is approximately $8.6 million across roughly 3,500 units shipped, and 2023, 2024, and 2025 each set a new company sales record. The technical advantage is a concentric-only resistance mechanism protected by a U.S. utility patent with roughly five and a half to six years of remaining term. Resistance decreases slightly as the athlete accelerates, so the device does not alter natural running form. That is the opposite of elastic band trainers, which increase resistance with distance from the anchor and progressively distort stride. Because the device pulls in one direction only and stops the moment the athlete stops, injury risk is materially lower. There has never been a reported injury claim in more than a decade in the field. Economics are strong and improving. Gross margin ran 70.9% in 2024, 72.5% in 2025, and 76.3% year to date through July 2026, on a product priced at roughly four to five times landed cost. Recast owner earnings were approximately $595,000 in 2024, $630,000 in 2025, and $705,000 on a trailing twelve month basis, a net margin near 60% on a two-owner operating model. The company carries no debt. Operations are simple and highly transferable. Product arrives by container from a single overseas manufacturer, a relationship held for the entire life of the business with no missed or short shipment and only one modest cost increase across 13 to 14 years. Confirmed, paid online orders ship from inventory within a day or two. There is no proprietary system beyond a standard credit card processor, and ownership estimates a new operator could competently run roughly 95% of the business within one week. The clearest opportunity is that all of this was achieved with no sales function. Ownership has never employed a salesperson, a marketing hire, or a CRM. Growth has been almost entirely word of mouth, driven by product performance and by strength coaches who reorder when they move to a new program. Coaching turnover, a headwind for most vendors, functions here as a built-in reorder mechanism. Paid marketing has run at roughly 6% to 10% of revenue on a single narrow channel. Unscaled levers already in motion: a recently launched Amazon channel producing unprompted daily sales, recurring self-initiated bulk orders from an established catalog dealer, prior retail placement with a major fitness retailer, documented unsolicited demand from adjacent sports, and long-standing international relationships never cultivated. Asking price is for the business. Inventory of approximately $367,800 is purchased at close in addition to the asking price. Facility is a leased warehouse of 1,500 to 2,000 square feet; the business is fully portable. Pre-qualified for SBA 7(a). Ownership will transition for a year or more and is open to retaining a minority stake. A signed non-disclosure agreement and buyer qualification are required. All figures are unaudited and subject to verification. I

The current seller went through some struggles and are recovering. While many customers regularly purchase, the financial load is just overwhelming and they are offering their facility to a new owner. They are however willing to stay on for at least several years to help with operations if you would like them to. To build this distillery out new, it would take over $10,000,000.00. You can purchase today for a huge discount. And with a bit of additional investment, quickly increase capacity exponentially. You can scale the production to the levels that you have the energy for. Currently producing: Agave Whiskey Vodka Gin Rum RTD’s (Limited) The current owner is motivated and is certainly open to listening to offers.

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.
