    Might have the chance to a sole distributer for a Product developed in the UK.Is it up to us to come to an agreement with this Company or are there any set legal implications regardng Distributerships.
    Cheers.

    Shipping from the UK to individual stores is very easy and quite cheap if you negotiate properly. Setting up as a distributor will add about 20% to your costs and also to the retail price for no real benifit to anybody.

    As a distributor, you will be responsible for retailers paying slowly, closing down, damaged goods, goods missing from deliveries etc etc etc.

    As an agent, you sell the goods, you get paid a commission. Goods can have a lower retail price, thus increasing sales. If a shop closes without paying, all you lose is your commission.
