Essential Wholesale

Wholesale, in the truest sense of the word, refers to the inventory that is purchased in large quantities, to be resold at retail. Many companies like to pretend that they are wholesalers when in reality, they are just another “middle-man”, eating away at the retail profits. Wholesale buyers purchase directly from manufacturers and their licensed distributors, and are generally required to submit proof of Sales Tax Exemption and Business License documentation.
