Ready to slow down?
Maybe you’re not ready to sell your distributorship right now, but perhaps you will be in a few years. Maybe you just want to slow down for now, take it easy, and not work quite so hard.
Are you unsure where to start? Are you asking questions such as:
- How do I find a qualified buyer to purchase my business?
- How do I know what my distributorship is worth and what are appropriate payment terms?
- Do I have to hire a lawyer or business broker? And will that person be familiar with the promotional products industry and all the critically important factors, including valuation, that impact the sale of a distributorship?
By working with The Distributor Exchange, you don’t need to worry about any of these questions. We will guide you through the sale process and help you every step of the way. You can sell your business through us quickly and easily in just days or weeks.
Most distributors who want to “slow down” still enjoy their customers and the creative side of the business. It’s the tedious, time consuming, non-revenue generating tasks that distributors want to eliminate.
Through our relationship with iPROMOTEu (among the industry’s largest and most respected distributor organizations), you can start slowing down right away. You can devote your time to selling, to creative thinking, and to helping your customers. Spend more time doing the things you want to do and less time doing the things you don’t.
iPROMOTEu will handle the financing, the order processing, supplier issues, invoicing and AR/AP. You can eliminate 60% or more of the time you spend working – and you will be eliminating the least desirable aspects of what you do. iPROMOTEu personnel will also be available to assist and support you when you are traveling or are away on vacation.
Down the road, when you’re ready to take the next step, we can help you sell your business.
