wholesale

The term wholesale refers to the distribution of merchandise to any business user other than the standard consumer, such as retailers, commercial, industrial and institutional users, in addition to other wholesalers and subordinate services. In the United States, wholesalers can operate as brokers or agents in buying and selling merchandise for various companies. Among other things, wholesalers are tasked with sorting, repacking and distributing goods. While wholesalers will not usually charge their customers a standard sales tax, they may sometimes charge a special type of wholesales tax.

Wholesaling is an intermediate phase of the consumer supply chain, and a link between producer and retailer. It can also forward economic growth by allowing the parties involved in the supply and demand of goods to set up a single price for one type of merchandise. Most prices are settled via negotiation, although the auction system is growing increasingly popular in many wholesale markets.

Moreover, in the case of food items, wholesale marketing will usually occur at open markets where numerous wholesalers come together. While wholesale prices are usually offered to businesses, on occasion, some markets may also provide goods to standard consumers, at cheaper-than-retail prices, and they will usually be signaled with large wholesale signs that advertise this specific offer.

The concept of wholesaling in the banking industry refers to the supply of special services to a limited number of larger scale clients, such as corporations, real-estate developers, investors, medium-sized businesses, various government institutions, or other banks. It is used in opposition with retail banking, which refers to the provision of standard services to a large number of small clients, such as individuals and small-sized businesses. Some of the services offered with retail banking are personal loans, debit and credit cards, transactional and savings accounts, as well as mortgages, among others.

According to the types of banking services provided, financial institutions can be of several types, such as commercial banks, private banks, savings banks, and community development banks. Banks that are involved in wholesale marketing may also provide some or all of the following services: consultancy, market making, finance wholesaling, fund management, underwriting, mergers and acquisitions, and many more.
