Wholesale trading guide

Practical steps to buy wholesale lots, sell surplus stock and prepare a clear agreement with your trading partner.

Buying wholesale lots: from search to agreement

Find stock that fits your business and prepare a clear enquiry before committing to a purchase.

Present your lot so professional buyers can understand the opportunity and ask relevant questions.

A useful stock assessment separates what is confirmed from what still needs inspection.

Confirm who you are dealing with, where the goods are and whether the commercial information is consistent.

Make the quotation clear enough that both parties understand what is being supplied and which costs are included.

Prepare the loading and delivery details before booking a vehicle or promising a delivery date.

Use multilingual listings to start a conversation, then confirm the details required for the destination market.
