distribution intermediary. Individual or firm (such as an agent, distributor, wholesaler, retailer) that links producers to other intermediaries or the ultimate buyer. Distribution intermediaries help a firm to promote, sell, and make-available a good or service through contractual arrangements or purchase and resale of the item. Each intermediary receives the item at one pricing point and moves it to the next higher pricing point until the item reaches the final buyer.
Intermediaries put buyers and sellers together without taking ownership of the product, service or property. They act as go-betweens. They are not wholesalers or distributors, which buy products and then resell them. They are usually paid on a percentage of the total transaction. Intermediaries, sometimes called brokers or agents, are valuable because they have the skill, knowledge, experience and, just as important, a network that the buyer or seller may not have.
