Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Wholesalers are defined as merchants who purchase large quantities of goods from manufacturers or other suppliers and resell them to retailers or industrial or business users, usually without physically altering the products. They take ownership of the goods and typically provide storage and distribution services to their customers. The other options - agents, franchisors, and vendors - do not accurately describe this type of business. Agents typically act as intermediaries between buyers and sellers and do not take title to the goods they handle. Franchisors grant the right to use their business model to independent operators, but do not directly buy and sell products. Vendors can refer to any seller of goods, but it does not necessarily imply the wholesale distribution model.
