Hi all,

Quick question, our company is just launching this week/next week, and I'm beginning to actively seek out suppliers now. We're looking to buy in pretty large quantities (eventually directly from the manufacturers) but initially we still will probably be trying to get accounts with a few other distributors to hopefully carry their products at a good price. Do you think that having the word "Distribution" in our company name (as in "Apollo Distribution") will make them weary of working with us? I'm planning on contacting them using my apollodistribution.com email address...

Good idea, bad idea, doesn’t matter?
Thanks!

hmmmmmmmm not to sure... good luck hope all goes well! Let me know how you go!

All the best,
Adam

I think there is a company in the UK called Apollo Distribution. (a wholesale company)

May not be too much of a worry, but certainly worth checking out.

Won't make any difference.

Not sure why you think it would them weary. Bottom line...if they can make decent money (means different things to different suppliers) off of a realtionship with you, they will be happy to do business with you.
