BUSINESS

 

Operations & Business:

 

Buy Smart, Inc. is a private company located in Wilson, North Carolina. Buy Smart, Inc's line of business is wholesaler of farm and garden machinery.

 

 

 

Industry Overview:

 

The distribution of farm and garden equipment in the US is handled by about 1,400 wholesalers and 5,000 dealers, with combined annual revenue of $40 billion. The typical distributor is privately held and has less than $10 million in annual sales. The industry is fragmented: the 50 largest distributors hold about 35 percent of the market. Only a few distributors operate more than one location.

 

Demand is driven by the health of the farming sector, which is tied to crop prices. The profitability of individual companies depends on good merchandising and efficient operations. Large distributors have few economies of scale but can offer customers a wider range of products. Small distributors can compete successfully by holding exclusive territory rights to popular products. The industry is only moderately automated: average annual sales per employee are about $350,000.
