When a company makes a product, it needs it to reach its customers. Sometimes this means selling and marketing the product directly, but not all companies have the know-how or market presence to do it themselves, so they have to work with a distributor who has experience and foot in the target market. A distribution agreement defines the terms of an agreement between these two parties, which allows the distributor to sell and market the supplier`s products.
