Wholesaler

An underwriter or a broker-dealer who trades with other broker-dealers, rather than with the retail investor.

Wholesaler

A company that purchases large quantities of goods from a manufacturer and sells them to stores, where they are resold to consumers. A wholesaler generally is able to extract a better price from the manufacturer because it buys so many good relative to an individual retailer. In theory, this enables the retailer to sell the good at a better price for the consumer. See also: Economies of scale, Warehouse.

wholesaler

a business which buys products in relatively large quantities from manufacturers which it stocks and ‘breaks bulk’, on-selling in smaller quantities to RETAILERS. Thus, wholesalers act as middlemen between the PRODUCERS and retailers of a product in the DISTRIBUTION obviating the need for the producers themselves to stock and distribute their goods to retailers, and likewise retailers to undertake their own warehousing.

Wholesalers typically sell to retailers by adding a MARK-UP on their buying-in prices from suppliers or by obtaining a commission from the retailer.

Traditionally, wholesalers have provided their retail customers with credit facilities and a delivery service, but in recent years CASH AND CARRY wholesaling has become a prominent feature of distribution systems both in the UK and elsewhere. Moreover, with the emergence of large CHAIN STORE retailers (for example supermarkets, and DIY groups) the wholesaling function of stocking and breaking-bulk has itself become increasingly integrated with the retailing operation, with retailers taking particular advantage of the price discounts associated with BULK BUYING directly from manufacturers.

Independent wholesalers may operate a single warehouse or a chain of warehouses giving wider regional coverage and in many cases national distribution. See VOLUNTARY GROUP, CATEGORY DISCOUNTER.
