What is a distribution business?
There are two types of distribution businesses:
Retail distributors are companies that sell directly to consumers
Wholesale distributors are companies that resell the products to end-users
Retail distributors buy from wholesalers or manufacturers and sell products directly to consumers (end-users).
Wholesale distributors buy from manufacturers and resell the products to retailers or other distributors.
Which one is right for your business will depend on your goals and experience.
We suggest you start with the retail distributor.
Why become an authorized distributor?
As an authorized distributor, you have the support of the brand/supplier. The brand owner owns the growth story of the brand. Brands have some brand fans. These can bring buyers to distributors.
The supplier owns the product and the shipping channel. Distributors simply put the product on the shelves for sale. And suppliers for after-sales support.
How to become an authorized distributor?
To become a distributor of a big brand, you need qualifications, such as a store, multiple distribution channels, a large number of fans, etc. You’ll need a lot more.
If it is only a small brand, there are not so many requirements. Maybe all you need is an online store to become a distributor.
