Is it compulsory for me to sell only the products available from your suppliers?
No. We understand that you are independent businesses and want you to remain that way. By choosing to stock and sell products from our preferred suppliers and manufacturers, you’ll get a greater monetary return. Only selling products available through the group isn’t a stipulation to anyone who joins.
