Distribution Business Brokers & M&A Advisors
Alpharetta Distribution Business Brokers & M&A Advisors
Distribution businesses are bought on margin, inventory, and supplier depth. We present all three the way a buyer wants to see them.
For Distribution Owners
What a Buyer Will Ask About Your Distribution Business
A distributor in North Fulton County lives on gross margin, inventory turns, and the durability of its supplier and customer relationships. Buyers will ask whether the inventory is current or obsolete, whether you’re sole-sourced with any supplier, and how much of revenue sits with your top accounts.
Aged inventory becomes a deduction at closing. Supplier concentration becomes a risk discount. Neither is fatal — but both are better addressed a year before market than a week before close.
Diligence, Answered Early

Warehouse throughput and logistics cost, framed in a buyer’s terms
The Team on Your Deal
How Our Team Works a Distribution Sale
Phil sold a large specialty lumber distributor and learned that industry’s language fast enough to package it for buyers — inventory quality, supplier risk, and the terms that actually drove value. John’s twenty years in consumer-products companies — M&M Mars, Bristol-Myers Squibb, and Sara Lee — make the supply chain familiar ground on the financial side, and Tony normalizes the P&L so the margin a buyer sees is the real one.
We will never know your products as well as you do, and we don’t need to: our job is to get up to speed quickly and present them the way an acquirer evaluates them.
